EFL clubs vote for record TV deal with Sky Sports
EFL clubs vote through a record new five-year live TV coverage deal with Sky Sports worth £935m.

Will be interesting to see how the money is divided. Based on next year where 8m would become 10.8 in the c/ship and 1m becomes 1.35 in L1.EFL clubs vote for record TV deal with Sky Sports

Red button I presume for midweek games where it's normally just the Championship so yes a massive change.Am staggered L1 will get that many games - is that a big increase on the usual coverage?
Since when is Sky free?Red button I presume for midweek games where it's normally just the Championship so yes a massive change.
So our last season in Lge 1 we could pay on Ifollow now it looks like it'll be free on Sky.
Prefer 12:30 to later ones tbh.One other point, Sky will cover 285 League 1 games in 24-25.
Massively expanded coverage but expect at least 3 games every weekend to kick off at 1230.
So that's under the current deal? This kicks in after that at a higher level?Will be interesting to see how the money is divided. Based on next year where 8m would become 10.8 in the c/ship and 1m becomes 1.35 in L1.
That creates obvious problems.
Pendant should have said free with a Sky sports subscription which I currently have so what ever extra games are shown would be free to me.S
Since when is Sky free?
looking at their offers today, it seems to me that my choice would be whether I want to pay 20 per month for Sky Sports on top of broadband costs for to get access to say 8 Blackpool games a season.
And those games won’t be available on TTV.
I would normally only get Sky for the Ashes (20 a month streaming) and was planning to sack it off in early August. No interest in watching EPL.
Or is there something I am missing here…
And they're showing one tomorrow, Leeds v Man City on Coronation Day at 3.00pm. Why?Makes you laugh they want to keep the 3pm black out but value it that much they’ll move 10 games out of 36 away from it each weekend. Tossers.
Just applying a 35% increase to next years payments.So that's under the current deal? This kicks in after that at a higher level?
It's already 1.32m in league 1, from what I saw.Just applying a 35% increase to next years payments.
Between the cship and L1 the difference next year is £7m. If applied as I stated the difference the following year the shortfall would be £9.45m.
Lower leagues will need a lot of sugar daddies to even hope to compete at cship level.
Is it?It's already 1.32m in league 1, from what I saw.
"In League One, teams receive £677,000 per season from the EFL and £645,000 from the Premier League.Is it?
Either way 35% (as I saw it, could be 50%) is a much lower increase at that level. The differential is widened, if it's distributed along the same percentages. And I think that would cause some problems.
Could the c/ship concede fairer sharing? Tricky and a question along the lines of PL clubs sharing income....the c/ship will want to keep as much as they can I think, just as the PL does.
A new elite.
I prefer 12.30 as a kick off time anyway to be honest. Am not sure when players train in the morning why we continue to have to wait until 3pm for games to be played. 12.30 at least gives away fans a chance to get home before last pints!Prefer 12:30 to later ones tbh.
That wouldn't surprise me either TS. All the main players on both sides are scrambling around trying to reposition / reinvent themselves.I wonder whether Sky are preparing for the loss of PL rights. The PL are actively considering creating their own streaming platform, which takes all the broadcasters out of the market.
Manufacture an interest in the EFL now, market it as the most competitive League on earth etc etc thereby reducing the perceived impact of losing the PL.
It is future proofing the subscription model of Sky or at least hedging their bets.
They did it with "a whole new ball game" they can do it with the 72.
It's been ordained by His Royal Highness and is an intrinsic part of the all day coronation pageant.And they're showing one tomorrow, Leeds v Man City on Coronation Day at 3.00pm. Why?
Because it was scheduled for tomorrow at 2 pm,but City in champions league Tuesday so it got special dispensationAnd they're showing one tomorrow, Leeds v Man City on Coronation Day at 3.00pm. Why?
And the other 4 games also kicking off at 3.00?Because it was scheduled for tomorrow at 2 pm,but City in champions league Tuesday so it got special dispensation
