Streaming of Matches on the net due to BBC Coverage?

Am I right in thinking that if we are the main match on the football league show then it is likely you will find the match streamed due to the cameras being at the match and viewing rights sold to foreign TV channels?

Don't know but, Saturdays game was on live in the UAE!
As was the palace game away last season, so might be something in it

In Scandinavia we are on a lot because we are popular. Simple as that. Scandinavian channels can show whatever game they want.

Granted but Scandinavian commentators are probably in studios not at the match, the cameras and infrastructure for a live match still need to be in place?

It kind of makes sense, as in UAE last year there were a lit of Newcastle games on, which I assume would have been the main games on BBC. It also sounds good as I think there is Good chance that the boro game wil be the main game.

I'm not keen on being the BBC's featured match as we always seem to do worse.
It's a shame all our matches can't just be streamed live for everyone who can't make the game.

Actually Dave, W12 is correct. The games being shown from the championship is always one of the 2 featured games on BBC. Last season Palace away and Bristol City and M'boro at home was on + the games that are on Sky

Cheers Frode, you see my point being is if we are flying high all season then we could be looking at a fair number of matches on the live stream on top of those matches on Sky.

Saturday was the first time I've watched us on a live stream and it made my weekend being unable to attend the game.

If we are that is happy days! But it means our little supporters club will be very drunk!

I think in the future all games will be viewable on the net by subscribing through the clubs websites.Hopefully end Sky's monopoly and all revenue goes to the club.They hire the crews to film it then sell the game to fans for £X.

But would the revenue they make match Skys payments, I'm not sure about that?

Definately something to consider for the future and once blanket wage caps are enforced in English Football, the clubs could start working on giving something like this back to the fans.

Lets hope so! In Norway you can now watch every single match of your team in the Premier League...so lets hope we get promoted :pleasantsuprise:

The big prem teams like Man U and Liverpool would rake it in in Asia.One or two games could raise more money for teams like those than the Sky payments.Licence to print money for clubs like that.

If there is a live feed anywhere in the world then you have a chance of someone streaming it, if we are the main feature on BBC, that means nothing.

Bang on and hope in future all QPR games can be on PPV in India or live on telly, which means it should bring in more money and more fans to our club, they need to promote our club a little more.
