Palace have been live on tv a fair few times this season, and are on again this coming Saturday. The studio hasn't been used once.
If the Premier League are going to insist that clubs, at their own expense and to the detriment of sections of their fans, have to install facilities for broadcasters, why on earth are the broadcasters being allowed to ignore them in favour of gimmicks like BT's pitch side presentation or Sky's live studio audience show?

Because they asked for the dosh? If you cancelled the tv deal, problem solved. Though of course lots of clubs would go to the wall.
Other solution, allow clubs to negotiate their own club's tv deal. Would suit some, rest can whistle.
There you go, two suggestions
