Soccer on the Radio
From this morning's Tom Taylor column...
Soccer gets bigger on U.S. radio, with Dial Global signing up Barclays Premier League. The deal uses the assets of UK-based talkSPORT radio, and it’s no coincidence that cable’s NBC Sports Network has a new carriage deal with Barclays Premier League. Dial Global works with NBC on the NBC Sports Radio Network, though this offering of live coverage of some of soccer’s biggest team names is through Dial Global. It will offer live coverage of league games, the FA Cup and the Capital One Cup – almost 400 matches per year, in both English and Spanish.
