This listing service has evolved to become our favorite website for TV schedulesr.

Click here for TV Guide listings

Remarkably awful on line interface considering the experience TV Guide has with presenting TV listings. They seem to do a slightly better job of updating listings at the last minute, but it's not worth the pain.


We used this site for a long time, but they have also move to glitter rather than usability.

Internet Radio


For similar information on sports webcasts in general click on the icon above. Lots of information for the general sports fan (with a particular emphasis on Baseball). Recommended. (popup ads). In Spring 2004 the site began a major overhaul after a couple of years, and in the future will be known as "The Game Live" (Formerly "The Sports Broadcast Pages")


Penguin radio is a fabulous resource for anyone who wants to listen to internet broadcasts. They have links to thousands of stations, organized by format, area, call letters, etc. etc. They assign code numbers to each broadcast, so as the stations change their web site, method of streaming, and the like, the users continue to choose the station by the same name. Their focus is more on round the clock broadcasts than specific events. They do well by soccer, it clearly receives more attention than USA sports like baseball, gridiron football or basketball. If you can't find something here on socceraudio.com, when you get to their site click on 'soccer' within the sports section on their front page. You can then drill down by country.


comfm.com is a similar service. They are in France, and primarily provide links to the audio for French radio (most of the stations found in our French section use ComFM).
They provide an English language web page, and plenty of other links outside France too. Click their logo to learn more.


Live Radio Net also provides an extensive list of web streams from broadcast stations worldwide.

This website takes a look at the meaning and history of the crests, badges and logos of football (soccer) clubs from around the world, and in particular, the United Kingdom.

The world stadiums website is an interesting way to spend some time checking out pictures of hundreds of stadiums around the world. They describe themselves as "an encyclopaedical collection of mainly football (soccer) stadiums all over the world. As football is by far the most popular sport in the world, the majority of stadiums presented on World Stadiums are football stadiums. However, non-football stadiums are presented as well for those countries where the popularity of football has not achieved a top place.


News


(aka CyberSoccerNews.com) is run by Cyber Soccer Associates (CSA). CSA was originally created to provide America Online with MLS reporting during the inaugural season of the league. 1999 CSA became the major information supplier to SoccerSpot.com as well as providing the FIFA Women's World Cup Organizing Committee with game reports, human interest stories, and feature articles to the official WWC99 website. SoccerSpot was purchased by internetsoccer.com in late 1999 and both sites were subsequently acquired by TEAMtalk.com, which continued to be an outlet for CSA's unique, in-depth approach to US soccer reporting through 2001.

Now that TeamTalk.com has shut down internetsoccer.com, CSA has started it's own outlet, click on their logo to check it out.
