Starting this weekend, KMYU will no longer air Utah Royals FC matches live the remainder of the season. Also starting this weekend, Real Salt Lake’s broadcast duo of Brian Dunseth and David James will be off the road and calling matches remotely for the remainder of the 2018 season, a growing trend in the sports broadcasting industry. RSL is in Houston Saturday night, but there won’t be the familiar welcoming shot of the tandem from a booth inside BBVA Compass Stadium.
The moves come as the respective regular seasons for both clubs start to come to an end, giving the RSL organization a chance to see whether or not these changes will be beneficial in terms of cost-saving moving forward.
