Alph Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 17 minutes ago, OwenB87 said: My understanding is that RamsTV will be showing any midweek game that isn't an official Sky pick. So, if it's on the red button, you'll be able to watch it on RamsTV. I have no idea what Sky are planning in terms of production around each game, but with RamsTV you'll get a proper programme: pre-match build-up, interviews, highlights, commentary etc etc. I'd be staggered if they are able to offer anything like that. What do you reckon to the bloke that presents RamsTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh God, the radio days when you didn't have a set attire and wore those jumpers Like Lineker did with Leicester, if Derby go up how about you do the first RamsTV coverage of the season in just your pants and one of those jumpers? ?

Steve How Hard? Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Is this a Sky driven initiative or have they been backed into a corner by the clubs to do this? Would be interesting to know if anybody has any info on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interesting to know if anybody has any info on this. Without knowing anything, I'd say the opposite. Streaming rights were completely overlooked before Mel took charge of Derby. It wasn't even an option home or abroad before Mel raised it at a league level. It didn't happen full stop, and it was only when he kicked up a fuss about the deal the EFL had with Sky that it happened last season. I think the figures were, give or take, around a 100k per EFL match shown on Sky, as against £11m per PL game shown. I think Mel spotted an opportunity to drive a coach and horses through the existing deal by streaming matches on a PPV basis, which wasn't covered under the existing broadcast deal. I think this is Sky's response, rather than being forced into a deal by the clubs, and lose subscribers to individual clubs, they've agreed to pay an extra sum to carry each club's individual feed on the red button for those midweek matches, in the hope of deterring migration from their platform to the individual club offering. Just a theory by the way, nothing concrete to back it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can argue that they've pumped a vast amount of money into the game but in lots of ways it's had a detrimental effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram59 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I thought that it was only for the 8 rounds of midweek games when there was a full championship programme. We've got 10 midweek games altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest is changed due to a cricket match at Trent Bridge. The other game is to do with the week when we play Ipswich on the Tuesday night. One of the teams are playing the following Friday Night on Sky, which apparently wasn't a big enough gap to rest on between fixtures. So it was brought forward with a similar gap to not rest in.

I think sky produce a great service, commentary and pre match build is always good and they always have a decent pundits even for EFL games. Now they are able to offer every game, that just enhances the product for the consumers. Nothing beats going to the games though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
