Can someone explain whats the crack with this?
I was under the impression that Sky and BBC have all the rights now.
But wHen i was watching ITV the other day i saw them advertising the Premiership (The Program) So whats the crack here then.
Or does this start next season or summit like that.
And does this mean that the premiership will be no longer and match of the day will be returning? |

"The Premiership" on ITV will run for this season, and next season (04-05) everything will return to Match of the Day on BBC1.
Basically Sky bought the whole lot again and have monopolised TV football. There'll be a few more games shown than before. I think Sky will be showing some more Champs League games this time as well, which might be a bit better for us. ITV seemed to completely ignore Newcastle last year, showing ty Liverpool UEFA games instead of our Champions League games. |

ITV1 showed more Liverpool european matches than Newcastle matches, despite the fact we lasted longer in a superior tournament.
Constantly they gave their coverage to Liverpool games over Newcastle, even when we played sides like Juventus it was only screened in the North East so that the ITV1 slot went to Liverpool's UEFA game. |

I wish I was able to see Sky Sports in Sweden...
Luckyly we're fortunate enough that Man Utd are as big as they are...50% of the saturday games they broadcast Man Utd games on CANAL+, who has the rights for all Premiership games in Sweden...If I'm not mistaking, then I think CANAL+ is broadcasting the same game as Sky is over there on Saturday afternoons (and also those games that are occasionally played at noon) and Sunday and Monday evenings...but I'm not sure...
However I want to see EVERY game :D
I wish Man Utd TV could buy the rights for all Man Utd games *chi-ching*...in that case EVERYBODY is happy...the Man Utd fans get to see every game, and the rest of the league who hates us don't have to put up with us beating the heck out of everybody anymore... :P |
