RE: Television Rights
BT Sport has announced an exclusive £897m three-year deal which will end two decades of live Champions League football on terrestrial TV. The broadcaster has won the rights to show all 350 matches each season from 2015 after talks with European governing body Uefa. A BT spokesman said it had "shaken up the UK TV market" and would make some games, including finals, free to air. The news is a major blow to Sky and ITV, who currently share the rights. |

RE: 2013/14 Football Season
Just staggered in from seeing lowly non-league Macclesfield Town wipe the floor with a Swindon Town side 55 places higher in the football pyramid 4 - 0 (and it really should have been six!) in the FA Cup. Fantastic atmosphere, geat passing football and four top draw goals - if you don't believe me catch the highlights on ITV later tonight. We are 38 in the bag for tomorrow's draw - live on ITV at about 4.15. Fingers crossed for another home tie. |

The live Champions League matches shown by ITV has had a major impact on the gates of lower league clubs that have to play on the same evenings over recent years. Now most/all games will be on a paid basis it may help attendances for clubs in Leagues one and two and the Conference pyramid. |

RE: Television Rights
Clearly not 'proper' football fans if they decide to stay in to watch the big teams instead of their own teams. Oh Superman where are you now, when everything's gone wrong somehow, the men of steel, the men of power, are losing control by the hour.

Any extra few hundred on home gates for midweek games can be the difference between survival and administration though for smaller clubs, so it all helps Anyway, iF you rely on the tabloids for your football news there are no clubs outside the premiership to watch anymore. |

RE: Television Rights
I do wonder whether when the rights for EPL football come up again in the next round that Sky will have a tougher time against BT than they had this time . For BT it is ensuring that they have enough sport that people want to watch , maybe need to start looking at Cricket rights when they become available . |
