In yet another sign that MLS is making major moves in the digital content distribution area we have a story that indicated MLS Highlights will now appear alongside Premiership highlights on a prominent UK E-Channel. Coupled other stories about a major move in the off season towards ramping up their mobile content, this story seems to further confirm the initial rumor as well as augment such deals in the USA and in Japan.
