They don't according to the website: ...
Clubs that sign up get a chunk of money from PremTV from advertising income.
The clubs are not obliged to take the PremTV package.
A number of clubs, in the Premier, and at lower levels through the Leagues, go independent.
I've never understood why public service broadcasting - BBC - is allowed to sell exlusive rights to the commentaries to PremTV
Thanks to you again Uncle C
Is it any better that the BBC gets nothing for helping PremTV make money!
The BBC doesn't sell the commentary. It doesn't even own it - the football league does.
The league allow the BBC to broadcast the commentary on the basis that it doesn't allow it to be relayed outside the local area.
BBC doesn't make a penny out of Premium TV.
If the BBC didn't allow Premium TV to rebroadcast it, the BBC wouldn't be allowed in. Don't think the BBC like the situation to be honest, but their hands are tied.
Anyone got a log-in code I can use
