ESPN Korea

17Jun08

Either I didn’t have it at first, or they were just showing soccer every night, but ESPN Korea has turned out to be a great channel after all. This week they have the NBA Finals LIVE at 10am, which is perfect for me. The games finish just before I go to work. They also showed the French Open and US Open, not to mention every game of Euro 08 which I don’t have much interest in. Sure, all the anouncing is in Korean, but it’s much better than nothing.

A couple months after I got cable, the company changed the whole lineup of channels. They removed Arirang, Korea’s only English language channel. That was fine because it was like PBS only more boring. All it showed was boring documentaries about Korean culture. Then instead they added 3 FOX channels that show American shows every night from 9 – 12 or 1am. They have a lot of good shows I never watched at home like Rescue Me, 30 Rock, Monk, Bones, and much more. Plus That 70′s Show!
