Who picks the live T V Games?

[evertonrmagic]

Just a thought as despite being Mid table I have checked on their official website and found that EVERY single away game the RS have played this season has been screened live on either BT or Skysports.
This continues through December AND January with monotonous unattractive fixtures at Sunderland, Watford, Newcastle,Norwich and West Ham not to mention the capital one cup tie at Southampton. We know they are the "biggest club in the world la" but surely they don't warrant far more coverage that United and City who are title contenders.

One word only

Corruption

I actually believe that there is an hidden agenda that they can't publicly anounce that every away they play must be shown live.They seem to make more t.v money every season than any other club when the figures are published.

The teams that have the most "supporters" abroad . Must protect the EPL brand . Even though an over-hyped derby match can be a bore-fest. While Stoke vs Sunderland could be an 8 goal thriller

Apparently Sky and BT lose 32 million pounds every time they show the rs on tv but they still do it cause everyone who works for Sky and BT support them cause they first started watching football in the 70's.

Viewing figures probably. Armchair fans all over the show.

 

[ilikecheese]

The networks would be my guess on who picks them.

All pundits in the mainstream media, most played for the sh*te and a few supported them, yet they all big up the image that everyone loves those loveable wall-pushers, pavement slabbing waiter bashers, best fans in der world, yadda yadda yadda.....

Also there bell fans will buy, click on anything slighty related to their horrible cult, so they have become any advertisers wet dream

Bish plz.

 

[evertonrmagic]

It just sickens me that I actually watch them more than us as I won't pay my subscription for nothing and now find myself praying a team gets beat more than supporting a team.Slowly getting more and more bitter with each RS viewing.

 

[l4toffee]

The fact is they have an army of arm chair supporters all over the world so BT and sky are going to pick them as they will get higher viewing figures than anyone bar maybe Utd .

The fact of the matter is that Liverpool have a huge fanbase outside of Liverpool, huge in Ireland and the rest of the U.K., with over 30,000 season ticket holders and a lot of other factors such as foreign supporters who go over, they have the biggest pull, so sky and BT pick them cause they'll get more dough! Sad as it is.
