TLN recently launched EuroWorld Sport on Rogers Digital Cable Channel 425 (available free for the time being). We are very excited about the prospects for this service and as you have correctly pointed out, one of the key properties on EWS is Ligue 1, the French First Division. We hold rights to carry two Saturday games live (usually 1pm & 3pm ET) and two Sunday games (one live at 11am). Starting this weekend we are adding on EWS, la Serie A, the Italian League, with one live game Sundays at 2:30pm followed by a taped match. In September, EWS will add the Europa League on Thursdays with two games live at 1pm & 3pm and all the remaining scheduled games of the MatchDay on tape delay. EWS will also have select FIFA tournaments including the Men’s U20 World Cup from Colombia and the Women’s World Cup from Germany in 2011.
