The “ danger” to Sky presents itself in the form of further fragmentation of the PL “ product” across an increasing range of broadcasters. The model is there from the US coverage of the NFL - which is shared between CBS, NBC, ABC, ESPN, Paramount, Fox, Amazon Prime and the NFL network. The rights are so expensive no one ( or two) companies can afford them on their own. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is where the PL go in their quest for ever greater revenues and broadcasters find the escalating costs more difficult to justify. All I really care about is Orient getting a bigger slice of the money cake. And the odd TV exposure. hear,hear! |

Indeed, Ridsdale has first hand experience of a football club spending beyond their means, nevertheless he's correct on this.

If memory serves me correct a few years ago ITV had a deal with the EFL to show live games but it went tits up for some reason? I'm not sure if Hearn was one of them but there were a few EFL Chairman that spent the ITV money before it was paid and then when the deal went wonkey didn't get paid all the agreed money?
Anyone got a better memory of that?

I think Hearn did his best to make the tv company comply with the deal that was struck.ITV Football was on all the steps and billboards.They thought it could be as big as the Sky PL deal,but sadly it failed miserably.Much the pity but I still think there is a few bob to be made from the EFL if done in the right way.Support our own leagues as those in the PL have lost all sense of reality.

Wonder if all payments stopped how much it would affect the heart of football in this land.Th Football League are the reason all these big clubs became that way.Fortunately the media seem to be on our side and hopefully the majority of the fans of these clubs.
I just read in one newspaper that the amount of new money if voted for would be £900,000,000.I suppose 75% would go to championship clubs the remainder say 12% to league 1 8% to League 2.Perhaps 5% shared between National League clubs.Even PL fans are fed up with the rises in their season ticket prices,whenever I get the chance I advise them to support their local Football League or lower league clubs.
I wonder what became of the Manchester United fans club who were put off the club and formed a breakaway club.

Wasn't it setanta and not ITV? I remember Setanta, found this on t'inernet. In 2006 Sky's monopoly was broken when the subscription channel Setanta Sports (an Irish based broadcaster) won the rights to two of the six broadcasting packages sold by the Premier League. This meant that Setanta Sports had exclusive access to screen 42 league games live from 2007 to 2010. |

There will apparently be no FA Cup replays from next season to ease fixture congestion in the Premier League so if Orient plan to win it then will has to beat Man City first time around
