Benfica TV coming to North America

According to reports out of Portugal, Luis Felipe Vieira will be signing an agreement with Satellite provider Dish Network, that will make Benfica TV available to Dish Network subscribers.
The agreement is supposed to take place on the 20th of this month, when Benfica is in American soil.

Benfica TV is a 24/7 running channel with all kinds of programming about Benfica and aimed at the Benfiquista. News reports, documentaries, round tables, commentary shows, as well as game broadcasts and other Benfica sports are all part of the weekly programming.
As of this very moment Benfica does not have the rights to their league games, as their current contract ends in 2012, but it is very possible that Benfica TV will have exclusivity of Benfica games when the contract expires. Nonetheless the channel currently broadcasts the league games in a tape delay format. Benfica's european match rights, as well as friendly matches are all owned by Benfica, and broadcast live by the clubs' channel.

Here'a link to a sample of their weekly line up.
