Premier League Overseas Rights

[DLINKLA]

Now that the UK rights have been sliced n diced.

Is there any news on who has won what overseas rights.

Have the 3pm games been excluded etc

If not when are they due to be sold

[cris808]

The Financial Times reported the Premier League hope to conclude overseas rights by the end of the year.

So should be within the next few months.

you can be sure that after paying 3 billion pounds the prices will be going up all over europe too

[cris808]

Well if they continue to place a block on the majority of 3pm kick off's then I'm not sure prices will be going up across Europe.

Sky pay far more than all of the worldwide rights put together.
The overseas prices wont change much.

If i were an overseas broadcaster, i would be ...

a - looking for cheaper rates from the PL due to lack of 3pm choice now..

or

B - paying the same again or a fraction more with the condition that 3pm games are brought back & are not removed at a future point.

The Premier League took away what it's customers paid for.

As a paying customer you expect the level of service to go up rather than down in most forms of business.

[Manic01]

I think they only ever had option for all 380 games to be shown, not necessarily all to be shown live?

[Manic01]

Anyways, sure there will be iptv box along for new season maybe which will have AD Sports?

[cris808]

I can see broadcasters continuing what they do now.

They show 1 live 3pm on their main channel and the rest live on their 'internet player' (Kind of like BBC iplayer) platform.
