Thought we were PLR ?!

 

[beorhthelm]

blimey indeed, you'd have thought we're near-a-bouts the Premier league media circus standards already. what do they need, gold plated Monster Cable to every camera, mic and terminal?

How much did Palace have to spend

 

[carteater]

Meh. With all the riches we're gonna be getting it's not a lot.

 

[Bean]

Surely not

..... out of the £169m+, mere petty cash for the club this morning!

 

[Knightsworld]

That's the budget gone for next season already.

BARBER OUT!

 

[Simster]

How much did Palace have to spend

Basic maths. We had to spend up to £5m - so what's 2% of that?

Source? Sky certainly seem to think our current state-of-the-art plug'n'play TV facilities are the Best Thing Ever, judging by the number of Friday evenings they seem to like spending down here. Or maybe they've just been here for the nightlife?

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Apparently Sky have mandated 2 studios - one at each end - for next season onwards. God knows why.

What?!

Odd.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

£5 million? Sky don't even expect a chair for Chris Kamara to sit on.

It's all in the Premier League Handbook, which you can download here: https://www.premierleague.com/publications

e.g. Page 151:

each Club shall provide at each League Match played at its
Stadium at least two Hardwired studios for the use of Broadcasters and each such
studio shall:

• measure at least five metres by five metres;
• be at least three metres high; and
• have a window which is at least three metres wide (or, if constructed after 1 August 2014, 4.5 metres wide) by 1.5 metres high and which gives a full and clear view of the whole pitch.

Guidance
With regard to the studio window, ideally the bottom of the window should be 50cm from the floor and the top of the window should be two metres from the floor.

Can't really argue about it.....seeing as the TV money is paying for it anyway.

Crikey those requirements have moved on a bit from the old scaffold tower they used to put up on the old East Stand !

It is a monumental media circus... and occasionally a game of football breaks out.

That is not the point. The point is the fact that we have got to do it to reach the standards required and we didnt have that in place with the original build as the Premier was always our target. and we have been on TV a few times.
