New TV deal confirmed
Sky sports, BT, BBC and Amazon all still involved.
BT have said after CL games their 12.30 kick off slot will move to 7.45 Saturday night. Great for away fans with no trains.

Re: New TV deal confirmed
Isn't it easier for the tv favourites? ManU fans are down in London, so that's 3,000 fans travelling home by tube when they play Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, West Ham, Crystal Palace, Watford and Brentford, if they make it through the play-offs this year.Quickenthetempo wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 9:33 amSky sports, BT, BBC and Amazon all still involved.

And, I'm guessing BT have already planned to cover all the London derbies.

Re: New TV deal confirmed
Looks like the TV money bubble has definitely peaked, if not yet burst.
I'd guess the 7.45 Saturday slot will be popular with armchair fans, bit of a pain for match going fans.. and the police depending on who's playing.

Klopp complained about playing 12.30 Saturday after Champions league games on Wednesday.Paul Waine wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 9:49 amIsn't it easier for the tv favourites?

To keep showing the big clubs they have changed their slot, viewing figures might be quite high for late evening games at the weekend? We have certainly had enough test events for them recently.

Depends if it clashes with 'The Wheel' or 'The Wall'.NottsClaret wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 10:13 amLooks like the TV money bubble has definitely peaked, if not yet burst.

Re: New TV deal confirmed
The pubs will be open. I wonder if all sports pubs have asked for the time to be moved? Or, maybe there's confidence that all the pubs will be full again when all the restrictions are lifted.Quickenthetempo wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 10:15 amKlopp complained about playing 12.30 Saturday after Champions league games on Wednesday.

Of course, the new tv deal is from 2022 - or can BT re-schedule for next season? I can't see Liverpool playing on Wednesday nights in Europe next season.
I'm looking forward to 3pm Saturday at the game next season.

Is it still not subject to Government approval?

I think they have agreed a £100m "sweetner" to the EFL with the Government.

I don't know, I was just making the clever money people on the board aware, so I could read what they say on it.

Re: New TV deal confirmed
They're trying to avoid renegotiating it I read this morning, because they're concerned they'll get less.
The deals have limited lifespans on purpose, to allow alternative broadcasters a regular crack at getting a slice of the pie so to speak.
A rollover of the current deal normally isn't allowed as it breaks the competition rules.
The gov have told the PL they need to pay more to the lower leagues.

Re: New TV deal confirmed
The Premier league have done well to get away with a roll over deal, I don't think that would have been possible 12 months ago. Good to hear that the government won't sanction the deal unless more monies are filtered down the pyramid

Re: New TV deal confirmed
Nothing to do with filtering down of money. It's due to monopolies that Government are involved because a roll over deal means potential new bidders have been ruled out.Top Claret wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 11:17 amThe Premier league have done well to get away with a roll over deal, I don't think that would have been possible 12 months ago.

Re: New TV deal confirmed
So effectively £5 million per club spread over three years. Not much trickling down the lower leagues in reality.claretandy wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 10:54 amI think they have agreed a £100m "sweetner" to the EFL with the Government.
