EPL on Pay Per View

[therealronaldo7]

Has anyone seen or heard what the price will be next year for the EPL season on Pay-per-view? Is it still going to be $269? Will there be any more games?

The price may increase to reflect an increased rights fee but the number of games should be the same since the timeslots will remain 10:00 ET on Saturday and 11:00 ET on Sunday.

Several questions regarding ppv

1.) for the 11am sunday game, is the feed from sky? are the commentators martin tyler and andy gray?

2.) does ppv show any of the sky pregame?

3.) Will the 9am game ever be on live?

Thanks

The games here are almost always the interantional feed with no pregame. Sometimes, FSW gets the Sky feed for Monday nights. Other than that, its the TWI feed with a single commentator.

I'm not sure how they could show a 9am game live for free or via PPV without affecting the number of buys for a 10am or 11am kick.

i dont like single-commentary. ill still pop for the ppv.

i think all sky match should be on free to air. we're getting robbed of all the manutd/arsenal, manutd/chelsea, etc matches. the ppv ones should be everything outside of sky. it'll never happen; i know

Those games aren't even free to air in the UK. Why would any network pay the rights fee for something it can only make money off of by selling some of it PPV and then give you the best games for free? With that logic, no one would have the rights and no games would be on TV. Besides, you need to pay for a higher tier cable or dish package in order to get the "free" games anyway.

billf got it right...

more and more however, some of the better games ARE airing on FSW- at 7:30 AM Saturdays- this is in order to give the teams more time to rest up for European matches in midweek and to show the games in prime-time in Asia.
