I'm trying to watch it too, its listed as being on ABC KATV 7, but they are showing the new on both the regular and HD feed. My "ABSHD" channel doesn't have it either. What a load of rubbish, I didn't go out last out last night because I wanted to watch this game.

Thats dedication piltdownman, but i am sure its on at 12:30, if you go to www.mlsnet.com, the game tracker hasn't started either. I guess will find out.

What a load of crap. It's a stupid time to host a championship game (9am on the west coast)

NFL is King this time of year across the US. It would crazy to even try to compete with that marketing machine, championship match or no. Early start is the least of the evil options available I'm guessing.

They could hold the game on a Saturday. A simple solution.

Heres the reason it won't be aired on ABC that I found on the Sounders fan site:

"KOMO will not be airing the MLS Cup on Sunday. The FCC regulations on Children's programming are extremely strict. Part of the requirements for retaining a broadcast license is that stations must air a specific amount of childrens programming each week during a specific window of time. ABC booked so many hours of sports programming this weekend that it was necessary for us to pre-empt some of the sports programming and air FCC children's programming."

But children's programming isn't on. They are showing some roundtable talking about politics.
