I’m in New York City tonight preparing for tomorrow’s press conference where NBC is expected to announce its Premier League coverage plans for the 2013-14 season.

The press conference begins Tuesday, April 16 at 10am ET. NBC executives plus Premier League Chief Executive Richard Scudamore will be speaking to an audience of gathered journalists. I’ll be there representing EPL Talk and getting all of the details about NBC’s coverage plans.

Two things:

1) EPL Talk will be providing you wall-to-wall coverage tomorrow as soon as we get the details (as long as the WiFi access cooperates), so be sure to check EPLTalk.com throughout the day for breaking news.

2) If you have any questions in particular that you’d like me to ask, please suggest them in the comments section below. I can’t promise I’ll be able to ask them all, but I want to make sure I leave no stone unturned.

Due to the press conference tomorrow, we’ll be skipping The Daily EPL tomorrow to give you as much content as possible about NBC’s plans for how it’s going to bring the Premier League to soccer fans across the United States.
------------------------------------------------------

I would love to know if they're going to have EPL coverage online or some online season pass. What comes out of the press conference tomorrow will be interesting for us EPL fans in the states.

NBC is garbage and fucks up coverage of every sport they do...Just look at how awful the Olympics have been over the years. If CBS was the one doing it, I might care, but I think I'll just stick to British streams. No way am I watching NBC coverage

edit: Oh shit Telemundo is also showing games. even better.

Telemundo will show 10am ET matches, while NBC free-to-air will feature the Saturday 12.30pm ET matches.

This is what's going to happen:

Fox Soccer is going to become FXX which is the sister channel to FX. Then the Speed Channel is going to become Fox Sports 1 which is going to carry Champions League games as well as Europa League games plus MLB games and UFC matches. All of these channels are launching on August 17th.

I hope NBC doest screw up broadcasts like FOX does with the champions league in terms of HD and sound quality. I download a lot of cl matches at night due to work, and those ITV and Sky Sports broadcasts are 1000x better than what we see on FOX

NBC Sports to Debut ‘Premier League Club Selection Show’ August 8th...

Presumably the 60-minute show will help sports fans, who are new to the Premier League, choose what club they’d like to support. It’s a novel idea, and while it’ll be entertaining for hardcore soccer fans, it could be a very resourceful show for new fans to the world’s most popular sports league.

...

------------------------------------

:lol I gotta watch this and see what they say about various teams. This is what I think: "If you enjoy being in a title drought with cheap owners, support Arsenal... the Chicago Bulls of the British Premier League. Both haven't won anything for a while, owners won't cough up money, both play in large market cities. Won't win the league or titles but will always be really good teams."

I got the 6 month, which is due to expire soon iirc. I may renew it, depending on which upload service is the more popular amongst rojadirecta users. Sometimes I'm stuck with Russian/German commentary, as the English uploads aren't always HD quality (gotta have HD lol).

I think it's worth it overall though. Living on this side of the world, it's tough enough avoiding Facebook, text messages from friends, and the goddamn american radio that never talks footy until there's an important match. Once you avoid all that ish, I really dont want to wait 3 hours for a match to download, just to see that midget score in the first few minutes of an away leg at Bartha :cry :cry :cry
