Television coverage

Sky Sports have rights to show 65 live Football League games this upcoming season, including an unspecified number of Championship games and the Championship playoffs. They also have match highlights. Setanta have no coverage of the Championship.
The BBC have rights to show 10 live Championship games this upcoming season plus match highlights. This takes over from ITV, who no longer have any coverage.
Last season's live coverage included 5.20pm Saturday and 1.15pm Sunday kickoffs, so don't assume all games will now be 3.00pm Saturday.
Overseas coverage is likely to be very sketchy, fans should check with their local providers.

[isitme]

i bet newcastle is just the boost the championship needs

 

[TrippyLondoner]

You get the bbc in china then?

 

[isitme]

i think you can pay for it but i bet the games go on the web channels

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Ahh right.

Which means that contrary to that shitty Alan Shearer joke, we will still be on MOTD next season.

HA. (no, really, where did I leave that noose?)

Championship might have its own show..though it would be funny if it was on MOTD, as you say,it kills that joke.

 

[London_Calling]

Only 2 1/2 London teams in that div. A bit surprised at that.

 

[kained&able]

a year or two after we sold rio for 18 million and lumplard for 11.

Doubt you can.

*Goes off to sit in corner and moan about the BBC missing a fairly sizeable trick by not letting British people overseas, and indeed other people who might want to watch it, pay money to get streams of their channels. They go on about 'contractural agreements', but one sec, which person, precisely, has the contractural agreement to show Eastenders in China? If they did do this, they might even be able to reduce the licence fee a bit*

 

[Refused as fuck]

I'm looking forward to next season. Watching us win a few matches for a change will be brilliant. Not having to worry about the glory of finishing 17th will be refreshing. I think we might get a play-off place if we bring in the right players. otherwise it has to be transitory season for us. We need a plan.

 

[London_Calling]

I admire the optimism.

I'm thinking more Southampton.

 

[Refused as fuck]

I'm thinking Champions League next year.

 

[London_Calling]

Well I hate to be the one to break the news but you should be thinking Doncaster and Blackpool and QPR and . . .

 

[Refused as fuck]

Top 4 finish, champions league, two new old strikers for £50 million. Luvly jubbly.

 

[London_Calling]

I think I preferred it when it was banter with a 'rival' club, now it just sounds bitter.

 

[Refused as fuck]

lol

[London_Calling]

Yeah, I really feel like 'that's told me!'

 

[Corax]

Aah, back to the good old days, when Newcastle were "sleeping giants".

Like Leeds.

 

[isitme]

you just make up this little world of newcastle fans

 

[Refused as fuck]

But you couldn't make up Spuds.

 

[kained&able]

i'd like to think at my worst im enough of an arrogent tosser that it my nightmeres i could invent spurs.

Would have to be in an especially cunty mood though. & i mean stuck in a lift with morrisey, jay-z and bono for 12 hours with no sharp objects or weapons about kind of cuntish moods.

[Corax]
