Soccer fans finally have a new place to find Fox Soccer Channel in HiDef: the DISH Network has picked it up on channel 149.
And further good news: DISH didn’t ghetto-ize it by putting it in a premium sports package of channels — Fox Soccer Channel HD is included right there in the satellite’s popular America’s Top 250 package.
Some of the more than 3,500 hours of programming that soccer fans will enjoy in HiDef includes England’s Barclays Premier League, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, Major League Soccer, and Women’s Professional Soccer.
Studio shows planned for HiDef include: Fox Soccer Match Day, Super Sunday+, Fox Football Fone-In, and World Cup programming.
“Fox Soccer Channel enjoys one of our most passionate fan bases, and its subscribers have been waiting for high definition programming,” said Mike Hopkins, President, Affiliate Sales and Marketing, Fox Cable Networks. “We are pleased that Fox Soccer Channel in HD is debuting on DISH Network and provides subscribers with the best viewing experience possible.”
