Langley Posted 15 December 2012 Share Posted 15 December 2012 You are aware that it's streamed online via iPlayer for those in Leicester? It's not, you get a message that loops over and over again. Plus they sold the rights to the commentary and the website too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Posted 15 December 2012 Share Posted 15 December 2012 Fine for those that live in Leicester but i don't ..... I live in Northampton Tesco's for a couple of quid. What I've got to listen to the commentary at the game. I think it was about £2.50. Batteries 97p Job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do, and I do, but I'm fairly sure those with a Leicester-based ip address have no problem. Slightly less sure now that you say that, but I'll wait for someone in the area to clear it up.

My dad in Newton Harcourt uses Foxesplayer as you can't use iPlayer. iPlayer is free for league cup & FA cup games for matches though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langley Posted 15 December 2012 Share Posted 15 December 2012 I stand corrected. Utter shambles when it's free on the airwaves. I agree. Pain in the ar$e. But, it's one of those. If you want to listen to it, pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-layrex Posted 15 December 2012 Share Posted 15 December 2012 I don't understand how they can get away with making us pay for a BBC service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langley Posted 15 December 2012 Share Posted 15 December 2012 I don't understand how they can get away with making us pay for a BBC service? It's going to be an ambiguous. I think that the club give permission for the BBC to cover it but the club own the rights to it so they are able to charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 15 December 2012 Share Posted 15 December 2012 Not everybody can afford to pay for it....I for one can't It costs almost nothing. would you rather listen to the city or eat a chocolate bar or have a drink each week. Even people on benefits can afford 10p a day. Hope you don't smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted 15 December 2012 Share Posted 15 December 2012 It's nothing to do with the BBC really though is it, yes they broadcast it and if it was down to them they probably would broadcast it online/DAB, but it's the bloody Football League who have the rights and block the BBC from broadcasting it online/DAB. I'm guess the BBC broadcast it FM but the Football League have bought the rights to broadcast it on individual clubs websites where you have to sign up and pay for the service because of this the Football League have the rights and block the BBC from broadcasting it any other way than FM. Blame the Football League, Wankers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't smoke only have a drink at Christmas, nothing to do with chocolate either money is spent on on food, also have to put a fair amount on my electric and my rent .....

Matt Posted 15 December 2012 Share Posted 15 December 2012 and the fact that they use BBC employees to do the commentary. Well if the Football League have bought the online rights from the BBC why? It's wrong the Football League make you pay, I'm not sticking up for them or saying its right, it's wrong, but at the end of the day if the Football League have bought the online rights then it's up to them what they do with it. If this is the case though and I havn't a clue how much the rights cost but I wouldn't say they'd make the money back on sales of the online services.
