Ooops got that wrong then.
Still there is no way in the world bottom of the Prem would get 94m if they sold there own TV rights, that's what I am trying to get at. A global market would want to watch the big 6 and the clubs could sell it world wide no problem. No disrespect to the lower teams in the Prem but they wouldn't sell there own TV rights to the rest of the world no where near like Liverpool would. That's why the current Prem ethos works so well for English football. Blanket sell the rights.
The disparity between teams is already too great before allowing an even bigger gap in finances.

Simon Jordan mentioned it on the radio a while ago. He said the Premier should start their own streaming service similar to Netflix/Prime and offer a monthly subscription service world wide. That would make so much money its unreal.
Danger however is Amazon will be crunching these numbers. They have offered every game pretty much at the same time tonight, so after a few years of their current TV deal they will know what the viewers/Fans want. Eg The Man U and Liverpool games would prob have about 50% of tonight's viewers.
The so called big 6 have been moaning about the current TV rights saying they think they should get more TV money as they bring in more viewers, Similar to La Liga where Barcelona, Madrid etc make their own TV deals.
I just hope the Prem sticks to its ethos and pays every Prem club the same Money from UK TV rights.
The Premier League should do something like NFL Gamepass. £160 a year, you can stream every non-TV game and watch a dedicated 24/7 NFL channel.Danger however is Amazon will be crunching these numbers.

This will never happen due to the 3pm blackout.
I believe all NFL games are available for TV in the states only if the stadium is sold out and with only 32 teams across the whole of the US thats not a problem. It could probably work for the Premier and it would still protect the lower leagues form the 1500hrs blackout. After commenting that the colours looked a bit washed out with the Firestick when compared to Sky Q, I had a fiddle with some settings on the TV.
Turns out it had reset itself to Normal picture mode for the Firestick / HDR input. Changed it to Dynamic and it's transformed the picture - infinitely better, pin sharp and zero flicker or buffer.
Quite impressed, to be fair.

I've missed all the build up to games on Amazon - but is it as biased as Sky with all the ex-Liverpool players as pundits?
A mix of everyone! Thierry Henry, Alan Shearer, Jermaine Jenas, Roberto Martinez, Clinton Morrison, some Arsenal footballer bird, Peter Crouch, Peter Schmeichel, Harry Redknapp, Owen Hargreaves, there's been loads of them! Gassing Station | Football | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
