  • Finding online highlights is more difficult than it ought to be. If the PL had more foresight they would provide a legal and free/inexpensive highlights show online. I know there are international licensing agreements at play but I think that putting their best foot forward would only help to grow the brand and increase paying customers.

    What would be a better selling point?
    1) a highlights show that uses two minutes of film to make Derby v Wigan look exciting or;
    2) the actual match bought on some sort of pay service

    I have the same problem with professional boxing to a certain extent. If the sport can only be viewed on a pay-per-view basis, only die-hard followers will be attracted. Also, one live match a month on basic cable television would not hurt.
  • I am not sure if the Manchester United website is giving free broadcasts anymore. I haven't been able to listen since the Christmas break. I keep getting a recording telling me that I need to be an MUTV subscriber. Which I am not. I'm just a regular subscriber and to be a MUTV subscriber you need to pay. Correct me if I'm wrong?

    Also for 'Live simulation' you can add Yahoo!'s Eurosport website. They have some pretty good commentary. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com
  • Great guide. Well done. Never even been to sporting life so thanks for the tip.

    Get well soon!
  • For Yannick... manutd.com does stream some matches for those who signed up for the free One United membership, but to listen to the high-profile matches you do need to be a MUTV Online subscriber.
  • @Charlie, okay thanks. I guess all those times since December that I've tuned in, they were high profile games then.
