"We are extremely excited to announce the launch of this initiative," said USL executive vice president and chief operating officer Tim Holt. "Our previous forays into online broadcasting showed great potential and we are confident that what Turner brings to this partnership will make USL Live a tremendous hit with our fans around the globe. This broadcast program will enable the most widespread exposure of USL soccer and, in particular, USL First Division soccer in the 20-year history of USL."
