It all has to do with Mexican TV rights to each team.
Jaguares is a TV Azteca team. So all their home games are on that Channel (Azteca America in the US although Telemundo has picked up some of their weekend games). Cruz Azul is also a TV Azteca team. Atlante has a local cable deal in Mexico, and their games are picked up picked up in the USby Telemundo.
Chivas, America, Toluca and Atlas are Televisa teams and Uni-Tele-Gala are their broadcasters here, and they divvy them up anyway they want pretty much.
Hope that makes things simpler.
Cheers!

I'm upset that America is relegated to Galavision tomorrow (I don't have
cable/dish). Must be the popularity of the telenovelas. Don't want to tick
off the senoras. :P Maybe I'll head to Tropico por una cerveza fria manana.

Subject: [nas] OT: Mexican League and TV
Why is the best team in the league, Chiapas, not on any of the Univision
channels in the quarter finals? I'm nominally a Chivas fan, but I saw the
Jaguares play Atlas one weekend and, oh my, they were so much better than
any other team in the league. I tried to make a point to watch them again no
matter who the opponent was. Well, I never saw them again. Anybody know
what's the deal?
Also, hows come whenever Chivas is on TV, it's always on Telefutura? (except
for tomorrow when they are on GOL for some reason). Do they have an
exclusive deal with Tele? or what?
