Didn’t trump say watching it gives you Covid or something along those lines?
America charge for a lot of sporting events, on subscription/ PPV basis. Then they have Netflix, HBO, Hulu etc
One thing is for sure. Paying the silly amount Sky charge will mean I'd be amazed if they've survive another 10-20 years. They're the next blockbuster video I think.
Now people have smart TVs/xbox/playstations I think the next step will be clubs selling on a game per game basis, or a season ticket for the full season, to watch games.
The need for a national broadcaster will drop off as sky and others have subscriber numbers drop, and their TV deals diminish.
Amazon will inevitably have some say in how it goes but I've no idea why clubs just do everything themselves in the future and cut out the middle man.
The middle man is the league they play in.
Clubs aren’t going to vote for Utd and Liverpool to take 60% of the PLs tv rights income.
NBC Sports still shows Premier League games. But it has now switched a lot of them to Peacock TV which you have to have an App for it watching on your phone or iPAd.
I have a ROKU which is what I stream all my TV on and the Peacock TV App became available today. I watched yesterday’s game on my Mrs iPAd.
No idea yet who is covering the CL or the FA Cup.
On a side note I have to pay $4.99 a month for the privilege of watching Peaxock TV Premium which the footy is on.
yeah the peacock thing caught me out this weekend
im in canada but watched the leeds- liverpool game on nbc. this week there was no game because of the us open.
for 150 dollars a year i get DAZN sports and can watch every pl game.
Yeah I know they show prem games on NBSC and NBC plus a new one this season Peacock.
Yeah peacock is an NBC/Universal thing, gonna be pretty big stateside but not available outside the US.
I had to download it today and have an Amazon fire stick which as yet doesn't have Peacock, the last not to do so. I ended up watching on the lap top 4.99 a month. Some games will be on NBC mainstream as well and the sports channel.
The way of the world now, more and more apps to watch things.

This isn't true at all. The US does a great job of showing sports on free channels. Normal tv is disrupted almost daily for sports of some form.
Yeah there seems to be a whole heap of dissatisfaction with Peacock. Looks like a money grab where NBC just shifted loads of matches to the new platform and demanded another $5 a month for them.
Yeah seems a bit out of order that it comes in after the season has started. No idea where the CL will be this year.
Are they still doing nbc gold? Or is this kind of it on a different platform?

I had the email saying they wouldn't be renewing the nbcgold subscription this season a while ago so i guess this was always the plan.

Can't say i watched any pre lockdown and then it was on fox for the tournament wasn't it? I forget now. But for Wolves games in the Europa i got lucky as the Mexican channels were all over us thanks to Jimenez and the commentary is infinitely better than the ones we usually get

No way are Sky going to be Blockbuster...the product is too good...they are still miles better than BT - yes they might have to drop the price eventuallly....i recently dropped box sets & movies off my package as I can get this stuff free elsewhere,
& I know you can stream live sport from various iffy sources...but I like my footy in perfect uninterrupted UHD & 5;1 surround sound

With a good vpn u can watch nearly every game in HD with few issues. That's at no expense at all.
It'll get to tell point it will be to easy to not utilise it when the alternative is a sky/amazon package..
Sky's prices aren't sustainable and the quality of their product is a direct result of how much they make and can reinvest. That house of cards will come crashing down 100%.
It's a generation thing and the new generation's have no qualms downloading or streaming stuff for free when there's little difference in quality.
I just see a future where the club's sell games to their fans direct. Seems inevitable and where the money is.
£56 (the equivalent of) here in Oz for all PL, Champions League, Europa games plus some others like internationals, for 12 months. It's crazy vs what you pay back in England for just a few of the games.
That said, the kick off times largely spoil the whole experience anyway
The gap between rich and poor clubs would widen further at a ridiculous rate if clubs in the PL were allowed to start selling their own TV rights.
