The NWSL has finally announced their broadcasting arangements. All games will be streamed online buy the home team. The Portland thorns will have a radio broadcast as well, it's unclear about the other teams. After talking about having a TV deal it seams a little disapointing they couldn't get anything. It would have been a good source of income for the league and it would have been good to get more visability them too.

They would have had to pay for broadcast production, and the revenue stream would not have been enough to cover costs so a net loss on broadcasting, streaming is the way to go, they can stream and get some revenue from online ads from channel partners.

Key for non-ticket revenue in the league will be sale of ancillarys..jerseys etc. if they can have good designs at good prices and get the hardcore fan of female soccer buying a jacket or top to support the league/game.

It will be interesting to see if the club management talks to players about getting the fans into the game ...or if the players do not get that they will need to be entertainers... and more to make this version of pro soccer go in North America.

They have lots of merchandise availible, although I cant say its particularly interessting. I was hoping the jerseys would be more unique for each team rather than the seemingly standardized look they all have, with the solid colour and stripe. Would have been nice to have a wider range of colours too.

Fox will show one game per week for the last 6 weeks, and all 3 playoff games. Schedule TBA. This should be good, more people will likely come across it by accident while flipping channels. It doesn't mention what kind of money was involved from either side. Would be interesting to see IMO.
