PL to create inhouse media channel

British sports coverage getting dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century

I wonder what the global uptake would be for a £15-30 a month subscription that gives access to all PL (& maybe Championship) games, with the portion of the revenues assigned to the clubs split evenly across all teams across the pyramid from PL to League 2 (or something)?

I suppose it all comes down to global uptake and the monthly fee, but you'd think if the numbers worked there would be opportunity to support a lot of teams across the pyramid. This would negate the concerns about televised 3pm games negatively affecting smaller club's matchday revenues, would level the playing field in terms of TV money and offer financial security to smaller clubs by leveraging the global popularity of the PL.

Netflix has about 283m global subscribers... Surely the PL would absolutely dwarf that?

Doesn't read like they are creating a new platform, just stopped working with IMG.

You can't run before you can walk. Looks to me like they are bringing things in house and building the foundations that will enable them to launch their own platform.

Streaming games is crap. Amazon are schit at it, the PL will be too.

Unless they have their own TV channel it's a schit idea.

It will be really pricey as they are greedy facks

Amazon's coverage is brilliant.

Was a bit glitchy the first year they did it but since then its been pretty much on par with live TV. Better than anything on SkyGo/iPlayer/ITVx etc.

Can’t say I’ve noticed too much difference, if anything it was worse

Except Sky are never beaten to goal news by twitter etc.

Amazon are every time.

I've always found Prime to have quality issues from wherever I've watched it so doubt i'm the only one.

Are you browsing twitter football pages while watching games? If so, why?
