Broadcasting question
With the Wolves game being live on the BBC, I was wondering when the last time the station broadcasted a league game 'live' from Turf Moor.
One for older fans, I'm guessing, or did it never happen because of Bob Lord's fallouts with the TV companies?

Re: Broadcasting question
I think that was televised, yes, but was more alluding to us in the top flight.

Re: Broadcasting question
I mean you are kind of asking an impossible question. I wasn't around in the 70s but I guess games weren't commonly live on TV back then. Before then, the 50-60s even less so.fidelcastro wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 8:27 pmI think that was televised, yes, but was more alluding to us in the top flight.
Since we have recently been in the top league (Premier League) the broadcast rights have belonged to Sky and BT and its only recently that Amazon have joined in.
The fact the BBC have one or two games is just a recent thing. They have been priced out by Sky and the big $$$$s

Re: Broadcasting question
Well if you’re talking top flight league games then the ‘a very long time’ will be true for most teams, including the ‘big six’.

Re: Broadcasting question
that must be a really easy question - we haven't been in the top flight since the mid 70's - Bob Lord was still Chairman - so he would never have allowed a live broadcast from Turf Moor - BBC have not broadcast a live top flight game in the Premier League until last month - so the answer is likely to be never

Re: Broadcasting question
So as not to create a new thread but on the same lines can anyone remember the last time a Burnley match was broadcasted live on TV away to West Ham on a Wednesday night when our captain was called James?
Been wracking my brains but just cant think of when it last might have been

Re: Broadcasting question
They weren’t on at all. Live league games didn’t start until the 1980s and there weren’t many on even then.superdimitri wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 8:34 pmI mean you are kind of asking an impossible question.
