BeIn sports in US is not advertising La Liga as of today, August 16, 2070.
All I can see at present is French and Italian.
There is n advice and no advertising, 3 days before the start of the season.
Where has it gone? Everyone seems to be in the dark on this.
NTV is listed for Russia to transmt LA LIGA, however, I as a subscriber has not watched one single game this year nor last. I call and write to Customer Service to no avail. Could you refer me to an operator that I could subscribe to watch the games? I would really appreciate it. Best regards. G. Bertrand
