To be fair this season they maybe will all be on either BT, Sky or PPV.
Yeah, in a backward way they are actually trying to help people see their team. Issue has been the pricing and they should have done PR better with some kind of launch for it. They could still get decent PR from this if they dish some matches out for free or just go cheaper on PPV but I doubt they will.
The EFL games are usually the local radio commentary and is dire. I get the Accy home games free and if you think Tom on RTV is bad you should try listening to the Radio Lancashire commentary
Instead of rolling back to what they were doing at the end of last season, they decided to do the exact opposite.
I've not watched any of the PPV games, and don't intend to, but are they full on productions, on a par with them showing matches as part of the normal Sky coverage? If not , then I can't see the costs being much more than they would, for the equipment/staff that are already there to provide all the highlights packages.
Ours isn't exactly free though.
The only reason all 92 games were shown live was in agreement with UK government to get the game back up and and running with around 3rd of them free to air
Wasn't sure how the clubs done itThe EFL games are usually the local radio commentary and is dire. I get the Accy home games free and if you think Tom on RTV is bad you should try listening to the Radio Lancashire commentary
Insist he turns his couch 45 degrees when watching - that will sort it
BT and Sky are not screwing supporters as unlike clubs in Scotland, the majority of EPL clubs have NOT taken ST money this season therefore fans of EPL clubs are NOT out of pocket.
RTV also has PPV remember.

From what I heard the majority of the money does go to the clubs. I know that every EFL game on ifollow generates money from the clubs
If the premier League cut them in on the profit then they wouldn't give a flying %^*& about reputation.
Sky Sports and BT Sport demand controversial pay-per-view service is scrapped

Sky and BT would happily see the Premier League's pay-per-view service scrapped as it continues to see a huge backlash from fans. The decision was made to show of top flight game live, a decision that both broadcasters were deeply unhappy about.
But after the government reverted on its decision to allow some fans back into stadiums the call was made by the Premier League to charge for certain games. A £14.95 fee is now being charged for matches that are not being televised via the usual satellite subscription packages.
But neither broadcaster is making money from the amount being charged and are concerned about their reputations having been labelled as greedy. Thousands of fans have united in their disgust over the move and opted against paying the £14.95 fee, an amount that was set by the Premier League.
Sky Sports and BT Sport are fuming with the decision are only want to see their production costs covered. A top Sky source has revealed that both companies would happily see the pay-per-view service binned as they continue to deal with the fallout. He said: “Sky is not happy to be involved in showing the pay-per-view games. We never thought it was a good idea and nothing’s changed since it started. It is damaging the reputation of Sky Sports to be linked to this scheme – and that feeling is shared at BT. Everyone here would prefer for it to stop.”
Sky also have no intention of taking advantage of the current socio-economic climate as the coronavirus pandemic forces parts of the country to go into a second lockdown. The Sky Sports Box Office channel airs the games that are not included in their usual subscription, but they are reluctant to advertise them. Viewing figures are not being made public but are said to be "mixed".
Newcastle fans opted against paying for last weekend's match against Manchester United and instead donated the funds to charity which saw them raise over £16,000.
Cannae be true? The mighty Fulham and West ham.
It won’t be anytime soon, the EPL has perfected the process of getting big money for their broadcast rights and letting their broadcast partners do the actual work of getting games out there, there’s no need for them to take on all the hassle involved of broadcasting it themselves.
