zico martin 95 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Now that I get Celtic TV and Rangers TV free as part of the setanta package on Virgin, with the introduction of liverpool FC next week, it begs the question why dont more clubs do there own cable channels? a channel showing Newcsatle highlights or recent and old games, interviews and phone ins would be lush!

marci 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 new and improved online viewing That would be the first step i reckon. If there's enough interest in watching classic matches or live press conferences online, the club will take it rapidly to the next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marci 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Newcastle World TV has been around for years on .cock. Every league club has a "World TV" on their website, and they featuring live commentary, match highlights and shitty interviews. But it would be a real upgrade if they would make some old games available, and god forbid they would hire some pundits who would talk a half an hour about our next match and put it on .cock 1 or 2 days before the match.

MattM4 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 ^ Indeed... and the first step to getting that would be ditching the whole "World" service in the first place. Loads of league clubs are run with that "World" service, but I think it's no coincidence all the clubs who do have the proper TV channel (expcpet Rangers maybe) have their site run internally.

Craig 6702 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 The LFC TV thing comes packaged with Setanta. According to a die-hard Liverpool fan it's not worth £9.99 - he reckons it's a pile of shite that is looped every couple of hours and said that if he was only buying Setanta for the LFC channel, he wouldn't bother. If they're going to bi-hourly loop the channel of a club who's won the European Cup 5 times, the English league 18 times and the FA Cup 7 times, how regularly would they be looping it for us?? I think the novelty factor would wear off very quickly and I dunno about the rest of you but I'd hate to watch a drawn out analysis of the shambles we produced against Citeh just so that I got my money's worth...

sammynb 3644 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 The whole club TV thing would be easy to create, problem is to fill it with worthwhile content it would be very costly. The clubs don't own the television media rights per se and because of that, years and years of classic games would cost them a fee to broadcast. Craig you make an interesting point about Liverpool a club that has won the European Cup 5 times, the English league 18 times and the FA Cup 7 times but you can bet they don't own much of the footage of those games. A program I was advising on recently wanted to purchase some archive footage from the 1960s from another network (our bbc equivalent) only to be told it would cost them $200/second, so can you imagine how much the beeb wants for their 60s/70s classic footage.
