RSL inks deal with KSL

This is huge!!! Will the games be in HD? And please no Tom Kirkland calling the games. Thanks KSL.

Finally more soccer on TV! Seriously how do people keep their jobs at KSL? First lets make an all women's station on 820 am, then lets start nightside and fire everyone. What's next on the list...um...hey I know...how about soccer...everyone loves RSL. Unbelievable.

I am not a fan of RSL, but this is great news for the team. I probably will not buy tickets to a game, but now that the option is there to watch the game on t.v. I may tune in to see what all the hype is about.
And please, NO comments on your taxes being waisted on a stadium. YOUR TAXES ARE NOT BEING WAISTED! THERE NOT EVEN BEING USED.

Um, Anonymous 9:01, you do know that last summer Real games were the highest-rated Saturday daytime programming on KSL, right?

Oh wait, you didn't know that?

Never mind - I guess facts are just going to confuse you. Continue with your soccer hate......

Great, I'll be watching every game. The more soccer grows, the more the voices of its critics are that much more laughable. I can understand the world's irritation with American arrogance when we sarcastically say things like "everyone loves RSL/soccer". Fact is, globally, everyone does love soccer. You just have to open your mind a bit and look somewhere besides your own back yard. And i don't need the rhetoric about how we don't need to be like europe or whoever else. In my opinion, one of the great things about soccer is the international competition and interaction. Why do you think everyone loves the Olympics so much? It's not because everyone is so interested in Curling, Aquatics, and Table Tennis. It goes a lot deeper than that. Imagine if each country had their own NBA with players and teams as good or better than ours, we would have some pretty exciting matchups. Anyway, for those who care to look, there's a pretty great soccer world out there, for those critics who continually voice their remarks with their heads in the sand, hey, at least you keep me laughing.

Hey raining on the parade...

Apparently you don't know how to read ratings.

Is that funny to anyone else? Who sits home in the summer, on a saturday, and watches ANYTHING? People probably just left their TV's on after Saturday morning cartoons. And yes we (the majority) will continue with our soccer hate because it's so easy to hate a "sport" that can end in a tie. Especially when we are continually force fed. Go away soccer

This is phenomenal! Way to step up KSL! I just might need to buy a bigger tv now!

820 is my favorite station

Anonymous 9:01, A Radio station dedicated to women...broadcasting a womens sport. It all makes sense now!

I was thinking I would have to pay for MLS tv and watch the games in a 1x1 square on my computer again this year. I wish it wasn't being tape delayed. Hopefully the future games are televised live.

@Andy - Come to a game. They are fun.
@Anonymous - Is KSL the only channel you get?

HIGHEST RATED???? PLEASE PROVIDE FACTS!!!! THAT SEEMS FUNNY TO ME. RSL CAN'T EVEN FILL UP 1/4 OF THE STADIUM, SO WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE WATCHING IT ON TV????

Number 1 Saturday daytime...so lets see whats on TV...RSL, infomercial, infomercial, and... another infomercial. Wow thats like saying you're the number 1 company in Santaquin. #1 and barely pulling in a blip in the ratings doesn't mean anything if your competition is a half-hour commercial.

RSL's rating last year: 3.1
NHL on NBC: 2.9
Utah Blaze: 1.7

Now will all of you soccer haters go back to watching paint dry (aka watching baseball)?

You just made your point using HOCKEY AND ARENA FOOTBALL. CONGRATULATIONS!!! You are more popular than HOCKEY!!!!!! You have really hit the big time! What are you gunning for next? The WWF? Or Maybe the LPGA! Both are highly recognized, legitamite, dominate sports that people really care about! I still can't believe that you are using Ice Capades and washed up wannabe's as examples of your popularity. I guess you really do know your place!

I don't get what is the big deal. Yes, you have a soccer team, and no, your tax dollars are not going to the stadium, so why all the fuss? No one cares there there is a AA hockey team with a stadium, a AAA baseball team with a stadium, but a pro soccer team gets a stadium and people are in a uproar. And If there are only infomercials on Saturday afternoon t.v., then the game is not taking away a precious t.v. show, so why does everyone who hates soccer care what KSL puts on their station? Honestly, I am from L.A. and a Galaxy fan who happens to go to college here and I am sick of the RSL haters.

Not only will I be watching every one of these games, I'm also thinking about hosting RSL watch parties for as many as I can. If any of you live in the St. George area and would like to get together to watch these games, let me know.

I'm so glad these games are going to be televised. Having moved from Logan to St. George last year it is much harder for me to make it to the games. I was wondering how I would get my RSL fix this year. Thanks KSL!!!

To all the soccer haters out there, keep on hating... it just drives my passion for the sport that much more! I welcome your negative comments. Not only is soccer going to be successful in America, but it's going to be successful in Utah as well. There are tens of thousands in Utah that realize this, and millions throughout the nation. It appears that KSL realizes this too. They are capitalizing on a great sport that has a dedicated and passionate following. America is on it's way to becomming a great soccer nation!

This is great news!! I have been dying to watch RSL soccer games on TV! I hope they can keep getting positive results!

I am so sick of these so called "soccer haters" reading articles about the sport they claim to hate. Why are you even reading the article???? Every single thing that i have heard these "soccer haters" say is due to ignorance. How many of these people have been to an RSL game or for that matter a professional soccer game anywhere in the world? How many of them know what "stoppage time" is? or what a goal kick means?
i am a huge Jazz, Raiders, and Red Sox fan and i love to watch them frequently and i have attended their games and i promise you that 1 goal is more intense than 5 home runs, 20 3-pointers, and 3- touchdowns. Sure we dont fill up a 40,000 football stadium, when have we claimed too? But the league does average around 16,000 which is around what the NBA gets. There are people who love this sport so get over it!!

I am excited for the announcement. I will be watching the games that I can and I will be attending a few games as well. Soccer is a great sport and I am excited to have it in Utah!
