Are there any channels in the US that broadcast our sport? Is there any way that I could watch it pay-per-view? The only time I've seen badminton of any kind on my tv is celebrity tournaments on the Filipino channels I get. My only source to watch matches is via internet. I know the NBC channels aired badminton here during the Athens Olympics, but it's a ways away from the next games.
Aside from Olympics, there really is no other way to see badminton on TV. Internet at midnight through 6 am is your only option unfortunately
Or buy a Badminton DVD? I got sick and tired waiting for badminton on TV and buy the DVD instead. The video quality is way better than the internet.
We get lot of pokers in the SPORT channel, but sadly, no badminton. They probably believe poker require more energy to flip a card than swinging a badminton racket.
Star Sports has been showing replays of the World Championships in Korea off and on for the last 6 months. I guess you wouldn't be so lucky in the U.S. ESPN2 was supposed to have shown some highlights in September but I don't know if that ever happened. A lot of us end up having to piggyback on China's coverage through PPLive, Sopcast, PPStream and the like.
There are no channels that are BAD specific in the U.S. The closest is getting Chinese cable channels that show BAD tourneys when they are on and you will only to see the Chinese teams and their opponents.
