Football Media

Did they release the tapes for this one?

[Nickyboy]

Football Focus being cancelled. I think we all said this would happen when they started replacing people with….people that aren’t qualified…

The most dramatic fall in viewing figures coincides with Alex Scott replacing Dan Walker as Focus' main presenter in 2021. In Walker's last season before he was moved on the average weekly
August audience was 827,000, before dropping to 809,000 in 2021, 599,000 12 months later and
564,000 this year.

I detest this new era of diversity/Wokeism comes before quality content

Notice today there is no main 4pm Mans Premier League kick off on Sky Sports the Prime spot weekend game. First time i can recall this ever happening in decades with Men's fixtures on going..

Not to be too upset they are showing a Womens Premier League Game at 1730 Pm kick off.

Obviously they are not getting the viewers they need to justify spending millions on content no one wants to watch.

So Sky are saying "You will fucking watch women's football, we will force you, or you will watch nothing else.

Really pissing me off.

.

The reason there is no 1630 Premier League game today is so that Sky viewers can watch the finale of the Ryder Cup. How many sports channels are there now? But Sky want to force their viewers to only watch one, that way they can get X amount of people watching the Ryder Cup and Y amount of viewers watching the football when it is on. If they were both on at the same time, even with viewers switching, the total amount of viewers would be less than X + Y. All to do with advertising revenue. Money is killing not just football but life itself, only very few will decide what the rest can and can't do and then they'll make a killing by providing the only means of doing it.

Sky's revenue isn't really driven by advertising as they are a subscription based model.

I don't know for definite but I'd suggest the subscription revenue is far outweighed by the advertising revenue. Remember each Sky channel can advertise and look at how little time is spent on analysis at half time now, all adverts. As soon as they get a chance to show adverts they do. If subscription was their main revenue source they would do more to retain subscribers and keep them happy rather than paying £100 a year for an IPTV subscription.

Of their £16b revenue a year only £1.5b comes from Advertising. I work for ITV billing ad revenue (our primary source of revenue) so for once its a subject I actually know what I am talking about.

Ad revenue is driven by 'eyeballs' the figures posted for subscription channels are tiny compared to free to air

That's my ideas put right then. Makes sense as you say when subscription numbers are much smaller than FTA that an advert on Sky One would cost much less than the same time on ITV. Thanks for the expert knowledge.

They're bringing it all though with a reduced subscription.

All the streamers are introducing some sort of advertising in the near future

Heard the audio ?

Pure incompetent but imo it shows they are quick to give the goal without checking! If that makes sense as they thought it stood, so not taking time to look at if a Liverpool goal was offside, thus showing favour to Liverpool

Stolen from our friends over at Ordsall Quays;

Rasmus Hojlund (20 years, 241 days) is the youngest player to score in his first two Champions League appearances since Erling Haaland in 2019 (19 years, 73 days).

So still behind Eling then?

Indeed mate but you've got to love the spin. We are still breaking their tiny hearts

Klopp saying he wants the spurs game replayed. What a complete knob.

And Sky all over it. Surely they simply call him out for being the world's biggest hypocrite and dickhead

But no, they are talking about protecting the integrity of the game. Laughable

I think the 1966 World Cup Final is probably on his list as well

I bet the 2018 CL Quarter Final isn't.

I wonder how football is going recover after the Spuds vs Criminals games when we had the world's first dodgy decision.

What now?

Jan Vertonghen joins calls for Tottenham vs Liverpool Champions League final replay after Jurgen Klopp comments

At least someone has the balls to call the hypocrite out

Of course they call him sexist. Him and "Arry who also said he is not mistaken.
And yes, he is spot on.

Absolutely true, but some males from the football world didn’t deserve to be in the women’s game either. Phil Neville using his “status” from the men’s game to get a job in the women’s game is a perfect example.

Pep: "John Stones is not ready to play. Maybe for the national team but not for us"

I love Pep
