Who Remembers The NASL?

4. The NASL on TV

You are right that the NASL peaked before cable became a force in broadcasting.
That was bad timing for American soccer.

But most NASL teams still had deals with independent local channels. It wasn't
just the biggest markets. In those days the home games usually weren't televised
to a local audience. Only the away games were televised. The assumption was
that if you put a home game on TV people wouldn't buy tickets.
