Why?

[Baniff]

Sitting in Local Hero across from King Power stadium. 3 premier league matches on. Why are none of them on tv?

[Webbo]

I think you have more luck asking the landlord.

[Fox92]

Because they're 3 o'clock kick offs.

Because none of them are shown on UK channels?

[Baniff]

Ok, what does 3 o'clock kick off mean?

means the game kicks off at 3 o'clock I think

[Alf Bentley]

It's all going to kick off in here in a minute - and it's well past 3 o'clock.

I think you may be right Una ..... Tough one though .....

Pretend it is on, Use your imagination, and watch it on a blank screen. The more you drink, the easier it is to do.

It means that UK channels are prohibited from showing 3pm kick offs live on tv.

It's been like that for years.

[Baniff]

ok, is it the Peirmeir league that does not let a match be shown on UK tv, or is it Sky and BT that won't show them?

[Baniff]

Thank you!, Heggsy, that's what I wanted to know.

Part of the standard agreement between the FA / Premier League / TV companies in an attempt to protect traditional 3 o'clock kick off attendances, especially at the lower levels.

It's also because all the teams playing today are shit... They're not box office like we are!

2:45 to 5:30 is a protected period when broadcasters aren't allowed to televise and football. Helps to ensure people still attend the games.

Mmmm.. don't work for villa..

[Baniff]

Ahhhh.....that makes more sense, more people would stay home and watch the PL than attend lower league matches.

Thanks for the insight!
