In news that has no doubt sent soccer fans across the world (including Shimer and I) into convulsions, the English Premier League has announced plans for a 24-hour EPL channel which will begin airing next season.
Local networks will be able to pick and choose between news and feature shows, classic matches, local advertisements and live matches.
I'm a huge fan of the MLB network, NHL network, NFL network and NBAtv. Not having to watch the nightmare that is ESPN and outsourcing to sports specific channels is the wave of the future television-wise.
Fox Soccer Channel and GolTV are the forefathers for soccer-only stations and this EPL channel should be a huge success. One can imagine the same thing happening with the other top leagues in the world along with who knows what else, maybe Champions League?
