More televised home games, FFS. I bought sky sports mid way through last season with the hope of seeing some of our televised away games in genuine HD with surround sound rather than crappy stream. We've had nowt but f**ing home games ever since. f**ing sky c**ts.
The facility fee figure per match is around £721,000 and each club is guaranteed a minimum of 10 LIVE games meaning every club gets a minimum of just over £7 million.
Sky turned down the Man Utd v. Swansea game (Van Gaal's first PL game) by all accounts. BT have taken it up now to ko the PL @ 12.45pm on the 16th.
This isn't true. They didn't turn it down. They had other priorities of what to show first like last season's three title contenders. That left BT's fourth pick to take up Man Utd and Sky settled for Arsenal in the fifth pick.
What's that supposed to mean? I've posted plenty of broadcasting information on here which has been right. I told you all we would play the semi final on the Sunday on BT straight after our quarter final for example. Sky choose when to operate their first pick or not. They didn't operate it on the first weekend giving BT first pick and they chose Man Utd. Sky didn't turn it down, they didn't have the option of it in the first place and went with last season's title contenders. (Yeah this isn't exactly what I said in the above post but I was thinking of the wrong weekend of games but Sky certainly didn't turn it down). Sky's first pick was Man City, second Liverpool, third Chelsea and fourth (well 5th) was Arsenal. BT's pick was Man Utd and the first pick overall.
No. ITV are in their final year of Champions League and European league contracts. The new Sky channel will show Champions League, La Liga, Eredivisie (or however it's spelt) and all home nation internationals (England highlights too). ITV will only have England games left after this season. They've already lost the FA cup back to BBC.
Check my post after this one. I explained the picks in full ( the thing you quoted is wrong which I said above).
