I've seen pictures of your town and it seems modern. Due to location, it's not surprising it would be somewhat international.
Not a fan of Kevin Eschenfelder calling the Astro broadcasts. He's got the Jim Rome/Suzy Kulber kinda belligerent sports-guy voice delivery. Todd Kalas much better, IMO. Blummer (Geoff Blum) is OK. You get all the US sports and TV where you are?

I buy the mlb.tv package and the NFL Game Pass package. I get all the games and I avoid the commercials. A bargain at twice the price.
No tandem will ever compare to Brown - Deshaies, but I'm perfectly happy listening to Kalas and Blum. Eschenfelder isn't any good, but he's better than Stanton. I'd rather listen to Ashby than Stanton.
And I'd rather listen to a car alarm than Ashby.
The MLB product sort of sucks but it usually works. The NFL product is excellent and is a perfectly good illustration of the difference between the two leagues. One is run by morons who feel like they have a monopoly; the other is run by people who want to make money and are happy to make the effort in order to ensure that it happens.
The only other sports I care about are the national futbol team which I can obviously watch on TV if I'm not at the game in person and my own team whose games I almost always see if I'm in the country. We have a warm-up game tomorrow at 8 AM that I think I might miss. I'm pretty sure they'll carry on just fine without me.
