Live broadcast bar, August 17 -british media reported on RadioTimes that the subscription fee for live broadcast of the Premier League in the new season has further increased. Football finance expert Kieran said on Maguire that this made many fans feel the pressure of consumption, they had to look for “substitutes” such as pirated live broadcasts “.
The live broadcast of football matches in Britain is basically divided by Sky Sports, TNT Sports and Amazon Prime. They provide live broadcast subscription services with monthly fees. For example, Manchester City in the the treble season above, if you want to watch all the competitions of Manchester City in the 23-24 season, you need to subscribe to three services, and the total cost of a single season reaches 1019 pounds.
Kieran Maguire said: “The Premier League has developed rapidly since its establishment in 1992, and the attention of fans has increased year by year. However, at the same time, due to the impact of inflation in recent years, the cost of watching live broadcasts has also increased rapidly. Predictably, when the copyright of the live broadcast is sold, the subscription fee of the live broadcast will increase.
“Now fans spend more than 1,000 pounds per season to watch the live broadcast of the game. Many people begin to look for alternatives, and they are not willing to continue to pay the subscription fee. For fans, as long as they can watch the live broadcast of the game, it is the same everywhere and through any medium. Therefore, more and more fans are looking for cheaper or even illegal pirated live broadcasts. This also makes the Premier League into a difficult problem. They are copyright owners and certainly do not want to see copyright damaged.”
