Under the existing deal, you can also watch a minimum of 12 games a season on the broadcaster’s Freeview channel, Showcase. This will no longer be the case from the season after next.

I'm guessing this doesn't make you a very happy man @Damien...

You guessed right. BT is a joke.

Good stuff. I really like their live goals show.

The coverage isn't that bad, if they have the right commentary team it's not actually as bad as it gets made out to be. It's more annoying because I have to subscribe to both Sky and BT. If Sky got Europe back then I wouldn't bother with BT as it's not as sweet a deal, but the way it is means I'll go for both.

I can't complain because my Dad is with BT and I get to use his login but realistically, with the quality of streaming these days I'd rather it was on a network that are at least competent with their coverage.

So how many more years before the market BT and Sky have created completely collapse? £1.2 billion for three years is insanity. The whole market is a car crash waiting to happen.

Why would it collapse?

I get it free so doesn't bother me.

Wish it would come back to Sky though.

Champions League on free TV is pretty much a thing of the past now.

Ugh, shite news.

Champions League on free TV is pretty much a thing of the past now.

BT might sub-contract some rights to ITV/Channel 4 apparently.

BT are getting a hard time in the tweet replies.

 

[The Purley King]

The punditry and commentary is fecking disastrous. No other word for it. I'll still pay for it because I want to watch the games but fml they need to sort that out.......

 

[rcoobc]

Things were better in the past!

 

[2 man midfield]

Good news.

 

[Samid]

Prices going up, and streaming, Kodi etc. becoming more available. The backlash is inevitable imo.

 

[BlueCelery]

Fix your fecking audio

 

[Paxi]

They can start their 4 more years by fixing the fecking audio sync.

Agreed. I watch that more often than the games.
