      Premier League ‘ready to DITCH Sky Sports and BT Sport and show football in new way in dramatic shake-up’

      by

      THE Premier League are ready to ditch Sky Sports and BT Sport in a huge shake-up to football broadcasting, reports claim. Sky Sports have been at the centre of the Premier League since its inception in 1992 and have helped fuel the huge financial boom that has made England’s top-flight the richest division in the world.

      While BT have become an increasingly bigger player in recent years and boast Champions League football among plenty of other packages.
      But when it comes to domestic football, the broadcasting world could be on the brink of change.
      The Mirror report that the Premier League are prepared to leave behind their traditional broadcasters and show games on their own platform.
      If this change were to happen, it would not be immediate.

      The current TV deal runs until 2025 after a £5.1bn deal was signed in 2021.
      The Mirror claim that only one more multi-year deal might be signed before the Prem “cut out the middle men”.
      It would be a radical change to broadcasting with fans currently having to fork out on multiple subscriptions to follow all the live games.
      Sky normally show four or five games across a weekend while BT Sport have Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off.

      Meanwhile Amazon in recent years have had one or two full rounds of fixtures during the Christmas period where they show every game live.
      Reports have also suggested that channels like Disney and DAZN could try and get involved in Premier League broadcasting.
      Broadcasters still have to fit their scheduling around England’s 3pm blackout and the Premier League would also have to do this unless rule changes were introduced.
      If the league were to take control of the broadcast deal, it would also give them more control over kick-off times.
      Fans have expressed frustration in recent years over asocial kick off times that supporters have had to put up with to satisfy TV schedules.
      And Kevin Miles, chief executive of the Football Supporters Association, said footy followers are also under the cosh over the money paid to watch football on TV.

      He told the Mirror: “There’s no question that supporters are increasingly feeling the financial strain.
      “We’re not untouched by the general cost of living crisis but the more platforms there are, the more subscriptions we have to find.
      “For those fans who want to watch everyone of the club’s televised games the costs are really starting to mount.”
      The reports come as Sky Sports make huge cutbacks on their output with iconic shows like Soccer AM getting the axe.

      Meanwhile, BT Sport have also been making changes with their Saturday Score programme set to be scrapped.
      The channel is also set to get rebranded next season. More

      And Walker once again inspected the device in the second half
      But an unimpressed Walker took an interest in the device before removing it from the structure and placing it on the floor.
      Amazon Prime Video commentator Peter Drury apologised to viewers, saying: “I’m afraid we’ve lost that angle now.”
      Soon after the broadcaster switched to the camera on the Leeds dugout to show fans at home what the angle looked like.
      But Walker’s intervention meant fans did not get a close-up look at Pep Guardiola and Co celebrating after Rodri put his side 1-0 up.

      An Amazon employee was on hand to reposition the camera at half-time.
      And it took Walker just over a minute to spot it again and fans we treated to a hilarious close-up view of the England man’s face as he inspected the device.
      He promptly turned to lens slightly, to give himself some extra privacy as he watched the second half.
      Several football fans found Walker’s actions rather amusing, as did the right-back who had a big smile on his face.

      Odegaard the Magista
      Wow, what a performance that was from Martin Odegaard.
      When Real Madrid signed him as a 16-year-old, many raised their eyebrows, but they could obviously see the potential that this man has in his wand of a left foot from a young age.
      Two assists, both of a high class, which topped off a performance of the ages from the Norweigan.
      It is time to give him his flowers, as he has been the best midfielder in the Premier League so far this season, alongside Kevin De Bruyne.
      And for those of you reading who enjoy the somewhat finer moments on a football pitch, the romantics if you will, please go and watch the highlights of this game.
      Hopefully they include his magical nutmeg on Lucas Paqueta, a quaint back-heel through the Brazilian’s legs, as he served up some Samba Sauce with an ice cold Norweigan chill.
      He is a really wonderful footballer, and for that reason, gets the SunSport man of the match award.

      ‘We’re top of the league’
      Was the chant ringing around The Emirates at full-time, and they have plenty of reason to celebrate after they overcame conceding an early goal to win 3-1 at home on Boxing Day.
      Arsenal looked a little rusty to begin with, as William Saliba scythed down Jarrod Bowen inside the box to give the visitors an early penalty.
      That penalty was dispatched by Said Benrahma, and celebrated in typically cool fashion.
      But the celebrations didn’t last too long, as early in the second half Bukayo Saka continued his brilliant season dispatching a mishit shot from Odegaard into the bottom left corner.
      Martinelli then gave the hosts the lead, with left footed, low driven shot past Fabianski.
      It was Nketiah who scored the pick of the bunch, spinning Thilo Kehrer, and finishing off an excellent team goal that was typical Arsenal.
      A great result and a great night for The Gunners, who will have made Arsene Wenger proud with that showing.

      66. Arsenal 2-1 West Ham
      West Ham counter, and Antonio does well to get the better of Tierney initially, but the Scot does brilliantly to track back and stop the delivery from the Jamaican striker.
      Corner for West Ham.
      64. Arsenal 2-1 West Ham

      Chance for Arsenal, but for a great save by Fabianski.
