Inter Miami CF Signs Local Television Deal

     Inter Miami CF has agreed to a local broadcast deal with CBS Miami television stations My 33 WBFS-TV Channel 33 and CBS 4 Channel 4 WFOR-TV in Miami. The broadcast contract between the club and the television organization is for two years. Major League Soccer has mandated that local television broadcast rights involving all their clubs can not go beyond the 2021 season.

     The television broadcasting crew were named back on March 26 and some of the broadcasters are well known in South Florida. Former Ft. Lauderdale Strikers midfielder Ray Hudson will be the game analyst. He played for the Fort Laudedale Strikers in the North American Soccer League from 1977 to 1984. Hudson previous soccer broadcasting experience includes Miami Fusion game analyst, studio analyst for ESPN, game analyst for Gol TV and game analyst for beIN Sports.
     Fernando Fiore was also named a game analyst and he had a long tenure at Univision. He hosted the Republica Deportiva sports show from 1995 to 2014 and was the studio host of soccer games on that network. Fiore has worked for Fox Sports since 2015 as a soccer studio host and studio analyst.
