correct,,,it needs to go back on the beeb or itv. the last i heard was uefa were complaining the viewing fig were down and they wanted it back on free to air so this has come as a shock
UEFA is obviously more interested in the money BT is offering than worrying about viewing figures.

£28 a month they want for for HD on Sky if you don't take BT broadband... which is itself much more expensive than alternative broadband deals.
I can't see anyone not with BT paying this.
Effectively they've managed to make the CL a BT Broadband only channel.

I'm pretty sure that was the idea behind bringing out the sports channel.£28 a month they want for for HD on Sky if you don't take BT broadband... which is itself much more expensive than alternative broadband deals.

On a slightly different note, just how shallow are UEFA, moaning about declining viewing figures and then selling to the company with the smallest audience, which guess what, has paid the most money. Quelle surprise.

Yeah, tbf the only reason they were moaning about viewing figures is because they were obviously worrying about advertising income in the UK. They were never going to care once the money from BT increased by more than enough to offset any potential loss. The social media free to air thing for the finals is a disgrace as well, should be on free to air full stop.I'm sure it was.

Hopefully they sort out the infrastructure. I watched last year's CL final on Youtube and it was about 10 minutes behind and the quality was pretty poor.Yeah, tbf the only reason they were moaning about viewing figures is because they were obviously worrying about advertising income in the UK.

This would be my worry, Youtube and Facebook streams are, on the whole, fairly shite quality, far worse than the pirate streams of the TV channels.Hopefully they sort out the infrastructure. I watched last year's CL final on Youtube and it was about 10 minutes behind and the quality was pretty poor.
