Remove ads
GOL TV is an American TV sports channel dedicated to soccer owned by GOLTV Inc., based in Coral Gables, Florida. The network broadcasts Liga 1 and Campeonato Uruguay matches.
The network was among the first to start a trend of bilingual broadcasting among networks to serve both English language and Spanish language customers, a strategy since emulated by competitor beIN Sports with their English and Spanish networks and BabyFirst TV. GOL TV maintains one main feed with both English and Spanish language audio and bilingual promotional advertising (though paid programming can vary between English and Spanish and is not cross-translated). Some providers offer the two feeds as separate channels, while others present it as one channel with language selection handled by the viewer at the set-top box through the provider's secondary audio program (SAP) feature.
