SPFL Sky TV deal realities

424

The proposed new deal the Guardian report Sky TV and the SPFL are close to agreeing would see a modest uptick of £2m per season to £29.5m.

For that, Sky can broadcast 60 games each year, instead of the current 48 games. Each club would also be able to sell five pay per view (PPV) games.

The analysts I have read is universally hostile. The deal does not compare favourably with similar sized European countries, the average cost per broadcast game drops and there is little account for inflation.

The analysis is also mostly lazy as our misses the point. Scottish football TV audiences are all about two tribes. Viewing figures become noticeable only when they meet.

Oh for an AZ Alkmaar, to bring drama to Celtic games from midtable.

The SPFL sell TV rights in an open and competitive market. It is absurd to bemoan the deal and not recognise the harsh fact that it was better than all others on offer.

It’s all clubs take up their five PPV options, some will be playing to a TV audience of hundreds, perhaps dozens.

  1. couple of things, not reading back so ………

     

     

    was there any chatter about Ange comments about John K ? that was some amount of thanks and praise about some peoples 2nd favourite escaped goat coach.

     

    seems to me makes the old moaners about hs skill set and capabilities look a tad silly.

     

     

    next

     

    just watched the man united shambles, that is a team not doing what the manager wants, some job to turn them around, get rid of everyone and start again,

     

     

    leicester, brendan will be off soon, that doesnt go well either.

     

     

    and I can Concur GREENLIONS is some man, especially with all that baggage of having grown up in greenock.

    Good luck if you get a reply.

     

    Your pleas will fall on deaf ears.

     

    If you hear anything can you let us know.

     

    I don’t come on here to answer trolls.

     

     

    Corkie will try my best.

     

    Racism is easy to spot,as see through as a Tory,

     

    And this blog is becoming a home to some nasty racists,

     

     

    Keep “reaching out ” to Paul67 and moderator

     

    But that will be met with its usual response in the digital world,which is better seen in All creatures great and small!

     

    A total zero of a non response,

     

     

    It’s easy to talk Celti

     

    And it should be easy to cut out the Racism

     

    But clicks count

     

     

    Be good Celts

    I started the this morning saying someone was due a hammering and today could be the day, which is why I bet Celts to win 4-0 @ 9/1.

     

     

    Maybe it will be more than 4.

     

     

    Brilliant entertainment.
