Premier League will launch a Netflix style streaming service.

[st albans fox]

Does the NBA streamable service run on another platform or an in house nba owned one ?

 

i know that nba tv is ‘transmitted’ by Warner 

[BroughtonFox]

I don’t have Sky or BT but would happily pay for a service that offers every premier league game.

[Master Fox]

They livestream every single Prem game in the US. Standard NBC sports channel shows the Sky covered games without the Sky presenters, then you pay $70 extra one time flat fee for the season for NBC Sports gold which shows all the games. No lagging, perfect quality, no studio pundits for non main games. Works perfectly on phones, tablets, TV’s, browsers. Needs to happen in the UK.

Not really interested in this unless it shows all LCFC games for that you'd need to be able to stream all games which will need the cancelling of the 3pm Sat veto or games being played at other times, 

 

I suspect also it will be a backdoor way to give the "bigger clubs" more of the revenues.

This is my concern. I'm in favour of this but I do worry that this will just grow the divide. 

How many people will be paying to watch Liverpool and Man Utd every week over the newly promoted teams for example? I think it will be very hard to argue for any real parity in fees when the big clubs will be able to point so readily to the numbers in their favour.

 

I hope we go down the line of the NFL game pass and make it evenly split but I just don't see the PL doing that.

The only way I can see it being allowed is if there are no Premier League Saturday 3pm kickoffs, so it doesn't clash with lower league games.

We’d be alright then

Don't be daft. We all know that this...

 

 

Is the future of football.

I enjoyed the football over the Christmas period on Amazon. 
 

I thought at the time, that o”one day, all football will be shown this way”. 
 

I do believe the English game will need to change to accommodate it. I’m not sure our league system is sustainable.

[Matt]

I've got reservations about it all personally.

 

I'm surprised in this day and age its not already a thing.

 

I think it's a good thing and there is a place for it all.

 

However if and when it comes on one hand all kick offs should be a 3pm Saturday correct? No need to move the games and make it an inconvenience to the match going supporter.

 

On the other hand from a selfish point of view I like the Saturday lunchtime and late kick offs as I do the Sunday games, aslong as it doesn't disrupt me, as I said its a selfish point of view.

 

I understand I can't have this both ways.

 

I do feel match going supporters aren't cared or considered at all amongst the TV companies or the powers that be who rule football and they are more concerned and cater for the armchair fan, which I do worry what effect that will have on the match going fan, I think attendances will suffer (At the top of the game and all the way down the pyramid) and I still think we'll get shafted and have even more incovenience with even more stupid KO times when there is no need for KO times to alter at all on a platform where every game is available let alone alter more (Probably).

[The Blur]

It will be interesting to see the effect this have on ticket prices.   The wishful thinking is that given the boosted (hopefully this will be the key)  income from the streaming service and the fact that clubs will need to attract some fans who may be swaying between staying at home or going to matches,   they may be incentivised to lower their ticket prices.

Still can’t see it happening in the UK any time soon. Premier League would need the backing of a broadcasting giant like Sky to provide the necessary production, cameras etc

This is the point I’m getting at - each sports requires their broadcasting partners to be up for it too. NFL’s red zone works as Fox and NBC are televising the games regardless. Similar with NBA etc

For foriegn markets it simply means you can sleep at night and watch the game when you get up or whenever you're free without having to cancel appointments.

 

   Gotta set the alarm.  Otherwise you'd miss the “live commentary” in our match thread (or the PL season thread)

Not sure what happened to your stream but when I watched a couple of games it was near perfect. 

9 rep points and counting for saying your stream was good 

[Guest seanfox778]

Won't this just be for overseas viewers? I fear they'll have a lot of obstacles to get this in the UK for every game.

[steflcfc]

I would happily pay to watch all Leicester home and away matches over a season.

 

Not too fussed about the other games, bar few derbies like Man C v Man U, Liverpool V Everton etc

 

I personally don’t think it will effect crowds at the football in the Premier League or lower down the football pyramid.

 

There will be enough people who will prefer go down to watch the game in the/a stadium  there are still aspects of going down to a ground that tv/an experience can’t buy.

[Sly]

My Amazon stream was perfect. 
 

People forget that 10 years ago, you’d struggle to watch winter games on sky if the weather was bad, due to the horrendous weather blocking the signal.

Every game is already filmed and broadcast all around the world with commentary, they clearly already have that sorted. 

[Sly]

I think it’s more the politics 

 

Like you say, every game is already filmed. 
 

It’s just sorting the rights out.

To nit pick. nbcsportsgold prem pass was $49 in 2018, and they upped it to  $64 for this season, will probably go up in 2020-21 again as well.

also nbc sports gold can't show all replays as soon  as the game has finished, if it's being shown on nbc sports channel,  those games are delayed till 6pm on  the streaming platform which is a pain in  the arris. so on a given weekend day you can watch  games shown on nbc sports gold right away, but if they're shown on nbc sports you somehow have to avoid the result until 6pm local time which is ridiculous. Having said that $64 is cheaper than paying for the nbc sports channel in whatever cable/satellite tier you need, so i cancelled my nbc sports channel level and just pay for the app, pays for itself in 2 months that way.

also NBC shows sat morning game on it's terrestrial channel locally in 4k, but the app only shows HD at best.

ESPN+ is the bargain, you get league cup, fa cup, champ, L1, and L2 (the latter 2 only show a few games per month but still) all replays available immediately for $4.99 a month.

If the Amazon Prime experiment is anything to go by there is still a technology issue.  The production was fine but the picture nowhere near HD which we are all used to now - our internet connection is plenty fast enough so that wasn’t it.  I only watched at home so wonder what is was like on a big screen in a pub.

 

We also tried Eleven Sports when they had the USPGA Golf but that was so bad it was unwatchable on a TV but just about ok on a tablet.

DAZN is the provider in Canada and it’s all online streaming. Never been a problem. If  they can do it, amazon sure as heck can. 

 

Worth noting that before the season everyone in canada was panicking because DAZN had been known to be awful. But it’s been fantastic since day 1 for me. 

 

So as a man living in the future of football, I can confirm it’s great 👍

I’m not sure, but it’s all the same for lots of countries, DAZN, NBC, BeIN, Eleven, Super Sport etc - all the same video and commentary then they have their own pundits before/halftime/after the game or some stations just have nothing.

The video comes from the broadcasting/production companies related to Sky and BT. BBC have an agreement with Sky for Match of the Day. 

 

Premier League would need to work alongside these for a streaming service - which they would be reluctant to do and dent their profits. Amazon were reliant on BT on this regard in December.

Disagree, this is capitalism after all. The way for Sky, BT or Amazon to maximize their profits is to establish themselves as the sole broadcast partner.

Out of the current 4 players, 2 stand to benefit hugely, EPL + 1 broadcaster.
