eejay the dj 31,964 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 On 24/10/2018 at 22:22, Nailed-It said: 40 Million a year would be a much better deal, but still not enough considering the bloated market. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6288497/Eleven-Sports-set-challenge-rights-live-Scottish-football.html Newcomers Eleven Sports are poised to go head-to-head with BT Sport and Sky for the rights to show live Scottish football.The SPFL are inviting broadcasters to bid for the biggest television deal in Scottish football history this month.BT Sport and Sky Sports currently pay around £21million a year to share 60 SPFL league games and both now want to go it alone. However, Premiership chairmen hope competition from Eleven Sports will see clubs double their money through a £40m-a-year deal when the current agreement ends in 2020.Founded by Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizziani, Eleven has risen to prominence this year by winning exclusive rights to show Serie A, La Liga and the US PGA Championship in the United Kingdom and Ireland.And a source close to the broadcaster told Sportsmail they would not rule out a bid for the rights to the SPFL, branding it an 'interesting property'.Amazon and Facebook have also held preliminary discussions with league chief executive Neil Doncaster.And Premiership clubs hope to tie-up a new contract by April next year when the broadcast giants divert their attentions to a new Champions League broadcasting deal.The previous record broadcasting deal for Scottish football remains a £31m-a-year contract signed with Setanta a decade ago.BT Sport and Sky Sports have already wined and dined SPFL club chairmen in London in a quest to show their commitment to the game north of the border. And Eleven Sports, which operates as a streaming platform, are keen to confirm their status as growing players in the British market despite ruffling feathers within the Football Association and SFA by breaching a long-standing agreement to keep live football off the nation's screens between 2.45pm and 5.15pm on a Saturday.The broadcaster has agreed to stop broadcasting La Liga games 'for the time being,' but vowed to challenge the ruling in court.In a statement Eleven said: 'The blackout is one of the biggest generators of piracy in the UK. These games are very easily accessed on illegal sites online and it is naive to think that fans do not watch them because they are not shown on legitimate platforms, except betting sites. It is irresponsible to leave the market in the hands of criminals.' Very first I've heard of Eleven.When I heard Corrupt SPFL were asking for bidders on the tv rights I thought . Are they from Rep of Ireland by chance Anything with these bastards will have an agenda that favours one and possibly hinders others Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
