Television Coverage And The New Season

[Michellis]

I wonder if a similar deal will be struck for live coverage of games as happened for the re-start fixtures?

Certainly can't see grounds packed with fans in the immediate future.

 

[North Bank]

Following the restart proved how easy it is for TV companies to broadcast every game. It would be stupid for them not to do the same until at least some fans can attend. Once fans are allowed back I can see it going back to normal.

For them it’s all about the money. More games shown = more subscriptions

For fans it’s all about watching the games

Everyone’s a winner

 

[colwall wolf]

Clubs will try and get their own subscription packages in order to regather some lost revenue

tv package won’t exactly be the same this time round who’s exactly going to watch burnley v palace at start of season, least with the run in games mattered

 

[AndyY]

I would happily pay for a Wolves TV subscription to see games.

Me too.

 

[Lisas Husband]

I think the UK wide 3pm ko will be back to zero coverage, at least to start with anyway.

I do........ish.

 

[stuj4z]

They've already said this won't be happening.
Streaming for individual clubs is not available because of the TV deal so it will be illegal viewing only for the majority of games

 

[marrs-guitar]

Some proposals by clubs to stream games were blocked by the UK rights holders as you would expect. There will supposedly be 20 more games offered for broadcast on TV though.

Premier League cut a deal to show 20 extra matches on TV in new season

EXCLUSIVE BY MATT HUGHES: Sportsmail has learned some additional matches will be shown to compensate for the fact that fans will be prohibited from attending games until October at the earliest.

[Sketchead]

I guess we know Wolves games will be available to watch one way or another.

 

[Very Proud (AKA Still Proud)]

Would have thought that some package could be sorted by the club so that STH's get guaranteed access and members get a PPV option if the game is not being Broadcast.

There are effectively no season ticket holders though, given that no season tickets have been available to purchase.

Sky have confirmed they have an added 12 fixtures, with BT getting 6 more and Amazon Prime Video the other 2.

Amazon's December games this season, will be the game week's when we play Chelsea at Molineux and Manchester United at Old Trafford

 

[Wolfy McWolf-Face]

What is the logical reason for not showing all games?

More money for Sky,BT and Amazon and naturally the teams.

Teams can't moan that fans will stay at home because they are anyway. What really is the issue?

I can only assume they simply want to focus on showing big 6 games ensuring max exposure and revenues for them?

What other reason is there?

 

[RMNottm]

So there could be a large number of games early in the season no one in the UK sees legally!

If a tree falls and no one is there to hear it does it make a noise.

606 et al should be interesting.

"Hi I am calling and about Palace vs Saints"- "Yes what have you to say"- "Err what happened?"

Those 2 added game weeks being fully shown, will be January 12th (Everton at Home) and January 16th (Tesco at Home!)

 

[Bankswolf The Third]

They would have to work to show all games. Its not like there arent alternative ways for us to see the games

 

[mcwolf]

on a side note can you spot the wolves connection in this video. ?

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Bit ridiculous in today’s technology , that within this Pandemic period , clubs can’t show their fans games - most Fans of which have attended games most weekends of their lives

 

[whitnash wolf ex.dewsbury]

err?

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Crazy that they’re effectively pushing people to illegal streams. I’d happily pay for a service that shows either all Wolves or all PL games at a reasonable price.

The NRL’s streaming service shows every game for either £130 per year or £25 per month plus the Fox Rugby League channel, so all the various shows. That’s well worth the money.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

It is ridiculous, Sky can cover 5 games simultaneously on Sat 3pm no problem. They might even not have enough expert summarisers which would be another bonus. They don't lose out, probably gain some subscribers, clubs don't lose out, maybe they can get a cut of any new subscribers. With no chance to attend and no way to watch legally I can't see how anyone can blame people for finding alternative arrangements.

 

[whitnash wolf ex.dewsbury]

think the prem are worried that individual clubs (the sky 6) want to to do their own deals to live stream.they have now took a bigger slice of the overseas money.manure would get more money on their own than from the prem.

 

[Michellis]

Yes, that's the ideal scenario. That way we don't have to listen to Steve McManaman.

 

[paulhick]

How bonkers is it that if I go out to lanzarote I can watch all games legally regardless of day or time but in this country we can only watch the selected few?

 

[Dazzling Dave]

Saw on the news today that they are not planning on doing what they did at the end of last season, which is really annoying, I hope this changes

 

[Very Proud (AKA Still Proud)]

IPTV providers will be rubbing their hands

In theory clubs do lose out as at the moment they’ve got Sky paying a ridiculous amount per game they show. If they let them show more games for the same money they’re in theory weakening the value of their product.

 

[North Bank]

Every game is already filmed by Sky anyway, they show full replays every Saturday night during the season. So it's not like it's any extra work for them, apart from getting a broadcasting/studio crew. Which is probably set up for the whole season in most stadiums anyway. It must be, as all things are these days, a money issue.

Reports suggest clubs wanted extra

Premier League fans left furious 160 games won't be on TV

Of 380 Premier League fixtures, 220 will be live on TV, 20 more than last season but fans feel teams and the league are 'cutting their nose off to spite their face' in not broadcasting every match.

www.dailymail.co.uk

 

[paulhick]

220 live games will be shown all season. 25 utd,25 city,25liverpool,,same with spur,Chelsea and Arsenal.
Unless your playing one of the “top6” you’ll get maybe 5 games all season.

 

[stuj4z]

NBC Gold/Peacock show every game streamed for something ridiculous like $60 a season.
Same with DAZN and Supersports in Africa.

It's a Premier League productions product worldwide, they could easily have offered this.
With no legal alternative there will be some interesting developments if people go this way, which they will

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

I just don't see this sticking. If nothing else the broadcasters are going to work out that the poor saps like me that actually pay for the 'product' are going to be forced into the arms of the illegal streamers and wonder why they bothered paying.

Exactly. And when you find a good iptv supplier you will really start to wonder why you’ve been paying through the nose for so long.

Hear hear, scrapped my subscription to Sky last autumn, after trialling another service and never looked back!

 

[VancouverWolf]

I wonder if DAZN or Amazon are elbowing their way into any negotiations with the PL. From what I read on the Mix, you fans don’t seem to be served well by the old suppliers.

We had games vs Everton, Aston Villa (twice), Brighton, Leicester, Watford and West Ham (twice) selected for TV coverage, even before lockdown meant every match was shown though.

I'm with you on this. I'm gonna be streaming as much as possible. Ridiculous that there can be no legal way for someone from Wolverhampton to watch a game that is still broadcast around the world.

 

[wwbug]

I think the UK wide 3pm ko will be back to zero coverage, at least to start with anyway.

Agreed but how silly when two thirds of a top stadium will be empty. All top stadiums will be oversubscribed. I suppose they are protecting the non league clubs . But I would expect them to see a rise in attendances.

 

[BlahBlah]

I suppose they are protecting the non league clubs . But I would expect them to see a rise in attendances.

They would be far better off these days making non-league matches KO at 1pm, then enticing fans into the clubhouse to watch the prem games at 3pm. More people might want to go and watch them then.
The days of saying "but we can't do things" are long gone, technology and the world have both changed.
