Yob Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 TSN's airing most of the games live. FSWC is showing the remaining games live. http://www.tsn.ca/soccer/feature.asp?fid=8185 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachesl Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 That's great, with basic cable (at least those of us who get TLN), that means most matches live, and all the matches on the same day ! Paying for FSWC is only marginally beneficial for this tournament (all right, I'm a cheapskate, but I generally get enough footie on tv without it). If you want the actual schedule of all the matches to figure out the television schedule, you might want to bookmark this page from the official website: http://www.euro2004.com/tournament/matches/index.html The times for the matches in this schedule are local time in Portugal, which is "DST +0100 UTC/GMT", or exactly the same time in London, England. Both the TSN and TLN schedules in the posts above are in Eastern Daylight Time, tarantatime, ( "DST -0400 UTC/GMT" ), a difference of minus five hours. Some of the broadcasted matches that appear on the surface to be live are in fact delayed. For instance, the third group matches (June 20 to 23) for each team are held simultaneously in each group. Get those VCR's and tapes ready! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogesc2 Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Got a DVD burner recently so I'm gonna put the whole tournament on DVD. Put the last World Cup on VHS, man that was a lot of tapes. Can't wait for the tournamnet to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJT Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 This is actually not as good as it was in 2000, when instead of FSWC the second channel was Outdoor Life Network (OLN), which is available to more people than FSWC. Plus, if I recall correctly, matches played simultaneously on the last day of group play were both available live, one on TSN and one on OLN (with repeats later so you could still watch both in their entirety). Of course the whole point here is probably to get more people to subscribe to FSWC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivaldo Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 It looks like TSN is selling those games to Fox SWC because they have other programming commitments: US Open golf and F1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
