 | beIN Sport USA So, who else is missing the start of La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, etc. because Comcast hasn't picked up this new Soccer channel?
Obviously this is going to be a long drawn out battle to get it onto the Comcast channel lineup. Although with it being owned by Al Jazeera it might not ever be added. |

People that does not like sports should not paying for it. This is for espn also. I do have the Sports entertain package so I am paying for the sports. -- Caddy |

 | reply to Xaviesta Yeah. I won't hold my breath. I'm still waiting on FSCHD and GOLTV HD.
I'll settle for just the SD version but I'm not expecting it anytime soon.
Also all of the USA's away World Cup qualifiers will be on this channel. I am not happy. |
|
 | reply to Xaviesta How do you know that Comcast is partnering with beIN to work this out? Do you know what the timeline is? i am hurting without la liga. |

| I've been following numerous people on Twitter - definitely looks like negotiations are in progress and are serious.
Throw in beIN's big US Men's National team announcement today, Comcast needs to get this done.
Even if it's only SD to start - but seeing they have gobs of capacity right now to add channels - it'd be sweet to see the HD as well. They could slot it right above GOL TV HD at 1514 - and have a soccer QAM! (FSC/GOL/beIN) -- "ONE team - ONE city - ONE dream!!" |

 rej4sl join:2008-07-11 Minneapolis, MN | Yahoo Sports was reporting that as of Wednesday afternoon there are hints that a deal between Comcast and BeIn is close to being signed. They also mentioned this weekend in passing. I will take that with a pinch of salt until I see it. |

 rej4sl join:2008-07-11 Minneapolis, MN | reply to usry723 Wonder how fast the negotiations will go now that bein has the rights to USMT road games. The next game is on September 7 so unless it is on Comcast before then we will miss out on the qualifier ....... |

 | Seriously why do we need more soccer channels? It's not even a popular sport in this country? I wasn't raised on soccer, I've tried to follow it, but the low (very low) scoring games are maddening. |

 rej4sl join:2008-07-11 Minneapolis, MN | You could say, why do we need so many x channels. Each of us likes a lot of different things. And in this world it is fair to let each person have the share of the pie.
The only soccer channel on Comcast is Fox Soccer Channel. The reason we want this channel is because a lot of contracts have been awarded to BeIn Sport so we want to ensure we can continue to watch.
There are a myriad of other channels you can watch. And football (soccer) is the most popular game in the world/ |
