A US television station linked with the New York Yankees will begin broadcasting Manchester United matches next week.
The YES Network will air United's most recent league game, followed by a news magazine on the Red Devils dubbed 'Red Hot News', then a classic match. Games will be shown almost two days after they are played, as Premiership rights in the US are owned by Fox Sports. YES spokesman Bob Davis said: "Each block of programming will have the news program, the classic game and the current game. All games are tape-delay." YES tried to begin broadcasting United matches at the beginning of the season, but Fox blocked it. Financial details of the current agreement were not made public. The YES Network reaches about 5 million viewers in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, according to Davis. It can also be seen around the country through DirecTV. The first match, Saturday's game against Chelsea, is set to be aired Wednesday at 7 pm EST. United will open a four- game pre-season tour of America in Seattle next summer. The team will also play in Los Angeles, Philadelphia and in the New York-New Jersey area. *************************************** Reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe to the list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe from the list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your use of Yahoo!
