You average family wants a mix of film, TV Box sets, kids TV and sport. In the past you had either Sky or Cable yet now with Smart TV you can have freeview and pick and choose a bit of Netflix/Amazon and Now TV, Eurosport Player etc.. Or opt for BT TV and get a reasonable amount of sport (just need a bit more cricket and I'd be satisfied) Interesting times ahead (especially as a self proclaimed SKY hater) . Exclusive content is the key but when it comes to sport the price is being forced up at ridiculous levels and I think it's about to hit a peak. |

The NOW TV SKY Sports day pass promo is back on cases of Carling.
Passes are available on 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24 440ml packs of Carling Lager. Limited to 3 codes per NOW TV account. Codes valid until 11:59pm on 30th June 2017. ASDA are doing 3 cases of Carling, 12 cans per case, for £20.00. That's cheaper than what 3 NOW TV Sports day passes would actually cost to buy on their own. https://www.carling.com/competitions/nowtv |

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Old Boy., l totally agree with you. A major, major problem is that Sky have increase coverage of TV football, long with BT sport and with VM pushing the price up. And these companies are paying really high money
Football fans continue to at the price. Channels will show it. I am a big footie fan and watch it all the time (not Arsenal though, or Celtic. I do have my principles) When l firt started to Spurs. the whole day cost me £20 and that included entrance fee. Now, l cannot go due to the price. It would cost be somewhere in the region of £100.00 I am not paying that My wife took me and the family / Grandchildren (which was great) and that was on a family ticket. and that costly. I think Barca only charge the equivalent of £20.00 and they are the very best in football. But no, while fans are prepared t pay the money - it will get shown |

Losing the champions league to bt is probably the best thing ever as it means BT have been saddled with a hugely expensive contract with little movement on their subscriptions. Both companies have been burnt by their experiences. Expect some sort of truce in 2 years time. Brexit will reduce the pound too so everything is worth less. I can expect the amounts spent will remain the same and our prices may go up a few quid but hopefully, hopefully it wont increase as much as it has |

https://www.theguardian.com/football...g-football-off It's an interesting read which does a better job than the Daily Mail article to explain reasons why people are not tuning in. I can certainly see some truth in the following: "Is the sport now so all-pervasive that actually watching a full match is becoming a tedious inconvenience if the relevant action and talking points can all be absorbed via osmosis on Twitter and other social media channels?" Could be a valid point. I watched a video on Youtube recently which raised similar points and trends about poor WWE viewing figures and how the younger viewers are consuming WWE content.

BT's Champions League viewing figures continue to attract scrutiny
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/...al-for-fa-cup/ "BT faces a far tougher challenge keeping hold of exclusive rights to Uefa’s club competitions in the new year after less than 400,000 people watched its free-to-air coverage of Manchester City’s 4-0 Champions League defeat at Barcelona. A rare airing of Manchester United outside pay-TV drew even fewer eyeballs the following night as the media giant’s hopes of securing another three-year deal arguably suffered their biggest blow yet. Analysis by Telegraph Sport of the ratings of BT Sport Showcase – which replaced ITV1 as the Champions League’s free-to-air station last year – show they are still shockingly low halfway through this season’s group stage. An average of only 236,666 people have watched the three matches involving English teams on the channel, with Leicester’s historic opening game attracting just 160,000 viewers. That compares to the average of almost five million who watched play‑off round and group-stage fixtures involving Premier League sides on ITV two seasons ago. Telegraph Sport revealed earlier this year that Showcase ratings in last season’s group stage had been so poor Uefa’s marketing agency, Team, was planning either to demand a better free-to-air offering in its next UK TV contract or simply allow all matches to be put behind a paywall. A lack of public awareness of BT’s Freeview channel also led to more people watching its subscription-only coverage, a pattern that has continued this season. More than 1.2 million tuned in to the Barca-City game on BT Sport 2, while almost 1.4 million watched United beat Fenerbahce 4-1 in the Europa League on the same channel the following evening, compared with only 381,000 on Showcase." |
Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
It's hardly surprising that so few tune into these games when there's no publicity about them being on a free to air channel at all! I only know they're on Showcase because I read this forum. and my mother only knows because I pass the news on to her!
Of course BT want all of us to pay to watch and don't want to publicise that you can watch for free |

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Looks like Sky may be preparing to face up to global operators challenging them for sports rights - particularly for Premiership football - in the future.
http://advanced-television.com/2016/...ess-important/ Sky’s Group CEO Jeremy Darroch has said that while sport remains a key part of its broadcast portfolio, the content rights aren’t as important as they once were. Speaking at a Morgan Stanley investor conference in Barcelona, Darroch said: “Sport is very important, obviously football is very important, but relatively, every day it is less important than it was and that allows us to make more choices about how much we spend, where we invest and where we choose not to.” Bloomberg has reported that “younger viewers in particular are now less committed to watching entire games and are instead keeping tabs on smartphones” and playing down falling viewing figures for the Premier League this season citing the Olympics, Euro 2016 Championship, relegation of Newcastle / Aston Villa and game picks. One equity analyst (from investment bank Exane/BNP-Paribas) said it saw these comments as broadly consistent with recent company commentary on content. “For example, at Sky’s investor day, the company argued consistently they will make ‘tough decisions’ on content and have also suggested that the loss of the Champions League to BT has had a limited impact on the UK’s operating performance. The group has repeatedly flagged the increasing diversity of its content offering, and increasing importance of premium TV series in its content roster. However, with 80 per cent+ inflation at the two recent critical auctions (EPL and Bundesliga) the group clearly is willing to pay up to sustain their content differentiation, especially in sport.” |
Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
I've found the premier league to be dreadful this year. Its a london love fest with constant cockney teams playing and irrelevant little clubs in the other games.
Im sorry but bournemouth in the premier league is just sad really. Its a fairytale for themselves but a team with a 10,000 capacity stadium... It shouldnt really be in the top flight. The problem is a lot of big clubs are in the championship due to incompetence. Teams like forest, leeds, aston villa, derby, sheff wed, ipswich, birmingham etc etc. I could keep going on. Big teams who when they were in the premier league went for it. Went for ballsy signings. Spent money. Wanted to break into the top ten. Meanwhile in the premier league you have stoke city, west brom, bournemouth, watford, swansea...some of the teams with the smallest attendances btw...are merely happy to survive. They dont spend a lot. They develop nasty defensive little sides, they collect their huge tv money and never really spend it...they develop a sort of hybrid mid table side. Its why people are turning off. The premier league consists of 6 teams who are trying to win the league. The rest are just happy to keep drawing and ticking the points up to 40. It doesnt make good viewing! Its so horrifically boring |

Personally, I don't think their capacity should have anything to do with it. What difference does it make if they have 50,000 fans or 10,000 fans? The 10,00 fans at Bournemouth probably make more noise than those at Old Trafford or the Emirates. When we (Camb Utd) were only allowed to take 9,000 to Old Trafford we did not stop singing and were much louder than the rest of the stadium. It was a dire atmosphere at Old Trafford, even when they were 3-0 up. We even sang songs for them..... Equally when I saw Arsenal v Man City at the Emirates, the atmosphere again, was poor. Capacity, in my eyes, has nothing to do with teams being in the PL. As you rightly say, look at what some of the bigger clubs have done, and look where they are now. Why should Bournemouth spend just for the sake of spending? They have every chance of getting into Europe, and I would be very happy for them if they do. I can't see them not finishing top 10 either. They are a well run club, based on hard work and team ethic. Yes, it is unlikely they will win the league or even reach CL, but as long as they play good football, don't play for draws and work hard for it, they deserve to be there. p.s For what it's worth, Bournemouth and Watford (and Burnley) have all won or lost more games than they have drawn, so I think its a little unfair to say they are happy to play defensively for draws. I fully agree with your broader point about some teams playing for draws and the money they will get as a result of staying up, though. I look forward to the next round of bidding, and the PL potentially losing money from TV rights. |

I seem to remember having this in the past with Virgin Media but they stopped it about 5 or 6 years ago? I also seem to remember at some point if you had this deal SKY Sports 3 and 4 got thrown in at no additional cost. Can someone verify this or is it just my mind playing tricks?
