Sky Sports UHD is pixelating in Leicester for last couple of days.

Thought it was the high winds from the live test match.

Other than the football league having more games on tv?

TNT and sky keep the same rights etc?

Next season all the Sunday EPL matches will be shown so the sports+ screens are going to be busy.

Appreciate this will be true - but do we think Sky are also more likely to increase use of a 12 noon (or 6.30pm) kick off slot to reduce the number of background games?

They certainly won't do anything for me fans actually attending gamea, that's for sure.

Well that depends on how many matches are scheduled on a Sunday. However, its probably less than the opening weekend of the FL the other week when all CH, L1 & L2 matches were available, and of course the League Cup last week when the Tuesday evening had over 30 matches to pick from.

l am enjoying the extra choices of matches on Sky Sports + but one would imagine there is a chunky price rise for all this down the line.

The season starts 5th September, for Thursday night football, so next week sometime I would guess.

I wouldn’t worry too much.

Despite the mythology around “deep pockets” streamers Sky are often hoovering up sports rights for less in real terms (indeed, sometimes even in pure cash terms) adjusted for inflation.

The EFL deal had a big headline figure but it was over five years. Production costs won’t be massive for anything they aren’t giving the showcase treatment to.

All the sky sports+ matches have commentators, replays, and highlights at half time, so some extra production work is going into them.

A much better experience than the "red button" matches in previous years.

Been getting pop-ups in DAZN to subscribe to new NFL Pass season with 25% off - so £119.99. I suspect you have to be a DAZN subscriber for the offer.
