The network was among the first which started a trend of [[Multilingualism|bilingual]] broadcasting among networks which serve both [[English language]] and [[Spanish language]] customers, a strategy since emulated by competitor [[Bein Sports (United States)|beIN Sports]] with their English and Spanish networks and [[BabyFirst|BabyFirst TV]]. GOL TV maintains one main feed with both English and Spanish language audio and bilingual promotional advertising (though [[infomercial|paid programming]] can vary between English and Spanish and is not cross-translated). Some providers offer the two feeds as separate channels, while others present it as one channel with language selection handled by the viewer at the set-top box through the provider's [[secondary audio program]] (SAP) feature.
