2015 Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Hopefully better than BBC or ITV boys club coverage. ITV can keep Pougatch as well. boring presenter.

MarcusX Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Looking at that it’ll still be ITV/BBC for the World Cup and probably Euros next year. This looks to be replacing the current sky contract for nationals league and qualifiers, which is a good thing as it means more free football 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marquee events (and I don`t mean s*g home games) still have to be. With the dreaded Dorries talking about selling it off who knows if C4 will still be?

Yea you’re right, but nations league isn’t on same level as the other two comps so was on sky. Nice to see that on free to air even if it is a bit less meaningful to some 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be against it being re-worked so the lower earners don’t pay / pay less. I don’t actually watch a lot of live TV, but use a fair amount of bbc services (iPlayer, radio for City and radio 1, 5 live etc) so happy to pay it personally.

Spot on,if you want to pay for the bbc then make it a subscription service and let the public watch the other channels that make their money from advertising for free,has to be better than a blanket ban if you don’t pay the license Edited April 29, 2022 by joe jordans teeth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 How strange. I thought C4 couldn't compete with the big terrestrial services according to Mad Nad, but here it is outbidding them for games that will attract significant advertising revenue. It's almost as if the channel wasn't making a net £74m contribution to government revenue last year... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never to the dark side Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 1) Would any one know the cost of the total package? as I am lead to believe the cost of the one nations league game was that UEFA wanted 3.5 million euros, and the brodcasters offered 2.5 million euros. 2)Does the package include the AWAY Euro qualifiers and World cup qualifiers. 3)Being cynical,maybe ITV did not want the games and MIGHT be concentrating on Premier league live games and EFL live games although the EFL games won't effect us next season when we are in the top flight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
