It's ironic that I can sit here in the middle of American and watch every Everton game live, when the lads in England can't.

With guaranteed coverage of all our games come guaranteed [insert synonym for currents], so it's good news for everyone really.

But yeah, it's kind of annoying. If someone would offer me a way to pay to see all of Everton's games on TV I would hurl my money at them before they could say 'Murdoch owns your soul'.

An on-line away season ticket is something I have been on about for years.
 
Thanks to Time Warner, I wont be watching **** on the TV. They were given the chance to broadcast the extra channels for free but don't show any signs of doing it. Spend 20 minutes on the phone to them yesterday and the girl seemed clueless that the channels even existed. I've also read that I may not even be able to watch the free streams from NBC for a similar reason.

God I how love the mini monopolies of the cable companies in this country, makes for great pricing and service :blink:

Call Directv mate and get them out before Saturday morning if you can. Directv is the best and you never have to worry about stuff like this.
 

NBC have gone "balls-out" with this as you'll get to see them push the re-branding of NBCSN throughout the season. For the two of you who may be interested, Everton's broadcast income is split between domestic and overseas.
Domestic has a set formula. 25% of the total is a "membership" fee - all clubs get the same amount. 25% is the "facility" fee - based on live TV appearances in the UK. Clubs are guaranteed a minimum of 10, but over the last two seasons, the two Manc clubs had 24-26 appearances, whilst almost half the league got the minimum. It used to be about £525k per game, now it's around £875k - you can see how they suddenly earn more.

The remaining 50% of the domestic TV money is prize pot. Bottom club gets X, 2nd bottom 2X, and champions get 20X.

The Overseas deal has also seen great growth this round - over $1 billion for the 3 years (and deals are still being closed according to reports I see). This is split equally between all clubs, and really helps adjust the ratio between the top earners and bottom feeders. Every overseas territory now has the rights for all 380 games per season (previous deal had a few territories with that).

A couple of years ago, our loveable neighbours tabled a motion at the Premier League meeting to change this from an equal share to something akin to worldwide fanbase. Because obviously they need more money to waste on buying gash and selling it on within 2 years for 25% of what they paid. It got laughed out. Even Man U voted it down...

Nice one. We have had pretty much every game live here in Australia for the past few years. I am pretty sure that me watching Everton at 10pm on a Saturday night is better than you watching it at 10am or whatever though (y)

Yeah here in South Africa almost every game is shown live..
