The big win is that the BBC have lost the exclusivity that they had previously insisted on. So no more having to put up with going round the grounds and to goals in other games which meant you only ever got commentary of half the game even when listening on iFollow 

You think that if they can Ifollow wont use the RS commentary ?

 

And for the Brentford Match thats what we got on Audio half a match

Mick, do you know how much the club receives in the deal? It'd be interesting to know how much DC was quibbling over. 

No wasn't that detailed but i was told our rights are very costly

It doesn't come from the same pot 

 

RS have had a reduction in their budget as all local Radio has and they decide where they spend their budget RS invest in local sports coverage 

 

Why were they cut?

All of local radio got a reduction i think part of yet another rationalisation of the Beeb

To help pay for increases in other budgets?

Every little bit helps the poverty stricken PL and MOTD presenters.

"Deal".

 

Right.

 

There's absolutely no chance the BBC will have come to us with the begging bowl to offer us more money than any of the other clubs. So at best we've got the same deal, but also potentially less.

 

How does the iFollow work payment wise? Has anyone paid an annual sub for this on the basis of not having Radio Sheffield?

Same or less!?  Why on earth would Chansiri back down now? If anything the same, but definitely not less!

 

Well done Chansiri for standing up to them and hopefully got more money doing so

[Mr. Tom]

[torryowl]

if chansiri as got them to up there offer and made a profit with the I follow sales then he's played a blinder ……...

[daleblue]

Am I the only one who's come out on top here, I have to get ifollow because of logistics, and now I get rob and john for both home and away games,

no going round the grounds for me , ta very much.

D.C. seems to be running the club like the Tories are running Brexit.

What's a licence fee ? 

 

Something you pay to the BBC, so they can send their jug-eared crisp addict, to moor his yacht in St Petersburg for the duration of the World Cup

Obviously happy for those not tech able to use iFollow. But...Really hope that doesn't mean that they'll go back to doing all that around the grounds and EPL spoilers crap when I'm watching the live video on iFollow.

I couldn't give a rat's arse about toytown or the spirites, fizz their updates
