It's a new season and a new local TV contract for Utah's Major League Soccer franchise.
It's Real Salt Lake at Los Angeles Galaxy on Saturday at 8 p.m. on KTVX-Channel 4. That's right, Channel 4. It's the first of 10 games that will air on KTVX this season, with another 20 on sister station KUCW-Channel 30. And all 30 games will be in high definition.
That's great news.
The only better news would be if RSL can beat the Galaxy.
