wheres the commentary.......again

[zego]

If you follow the text, link above, we seem to be doing better - plenty of attacking play in the laast few minutes of the half!

Better than the often dreary commentary on SCR ...

They don't according to the website: ...

Is it any better that the BBC gets nothing for helping PremTV make money!

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

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.

Thanks to you again Uncle C

I would put the telephone number up on here but I fear if they are innundated with calls from irrate punters that they may withdraw/change it.

I listen to every game, so will always be around to call if necessary.

I don't know. I was just helping you to understand how the BBC are allowed to sell the broadcast by explaining that they don't.

That explains it, a bit, but some Clubs find it attractive to have nothing to do with the PremTV offering, in any shape or form.

That must mean that they get as much money or publicity or goodwill or whatever from going alone as the pretty poor PremTV websites.

An example is the standard forum system provided. The "improved" version now in use on the official BHA site, which used to get a number of threads and posts every day, is so bad that it now gets almost nothing.

The latest post arrived yesterday; the thread consists of the starter, and that post. The next thread was started three weeks ago, has no replies, just 11 views!

I'd call that a dead parrot, and it is a huge embarressment to have it paraded publicly on the official Albion site.

Anyone got a log-in code I can use

Tight arse. Why should we pay then give it to you for nothing?
