TV deal for Womens football on the BBC & Sky
|
|
A positive in that womens football will now generate its OWN income (I believe they also now have some separate sponsorship from LADY BRANDS).
The early reports on this omitted the financial figures but they are now revealed.
bbc:
The BBC will show the Women's Super League on network free-to-air TV for the first time in a "landmark" three-year broadcast deal.
From next season, WSL games will be shown live across the BBC and Sky in the deal worth £7m-£8m per season.
Remaining matches not selected for broadcast by the BBC or Sky will be shown live on FA Player.
The BBC will broadcast 22 live matches, with a minimum of 18 shown on BBC One or BBC Two.
Sky Sports will provide coverage of up to 44 matches screened across the Main Event, Premier League and Sky Sports Football channels.
The agreements with both broadcasters will run until the summer of 2024.

The BBC already show the England womens games so the viewing figures for them must have encouraged them to dip into the WSL.

As an Englishmen coming out as a plastic Aussie I find it surprising he's still hiding in the other closet which is acceptable these days and doesn't carry the stigma of cunty treachery the other does.

Showing them on Sky Sports Football makes sense, but not on Main Event or Premier League as no match will be either of those things.

Another example of women's sport being elevated to a level far beyond it deserves. They should have to play for a full hundred years like the men have to develop the game enough that some cunt would actually want to watch these games. The professionalism isn't on the same planet as the men's game either. They could start there. I hope this isn't at the expense of something worth watching.

£7m-£8m per season is a ridiculous amount. Whoever negotiated that for the TV companies needs sacking.
To put it into perspective, the women's record transfer fee is currently £250,000. The men's game had already surpassed that in the early 70's.

Isn’t it time in the cause of equality to integrate teams and have men and women in the same team? I’d watch it.

Obviously the BBC can't afford mens football apart from the England & tournament games they are gifted but I am curious as to how this figure of £7m - £8m a season was negotiated.
Who else was bidding?

£8m for something that nobody watches.
Look forward to them wasting more money of women and disabled sports that no-one watches.

If this garners bigger viewing figures there will be two wins. Firstly sky will step in and buy it so giving the women’s game a financial boost and because of that it will leave the BBC.

Will that mean the female commentators and "pundits" move permanently back to Women's Football? Probably not!

Fucking waste of money.
To think most of us could decide to identify as a woman one day and just turn up and get a game.
You should try it Nurse, Debs?

Look, let's have it straight, nothing wrong with Lessers and Raspberries engaging in sport, very positive on all fronts
But spunking tax money payers under the pretext of demand and interest is wrong
No one outside of their world gives a toss about either, let alone wants to watch it, unless you include the callous deriving comedic value

I hope this means they get their own Football Focus. Know what I mean?

I see everyone's terrified there's going to be less money for Strictly Coming Dancing, EastEnders and the Eurovision Song Contest.
