Stranded So been mentioned in the press today that the new PL TV deal will see an additional 42 games shown live making it 210 games live of the 380 played each season.
As part of the deal a new Saturday night time slot will be added, seeing games kicking off at prime time, probably 19.45. This raises 2 questions, is there really the demand for another slot, this means that on one weekend, there could be live games at:
Friday 20.00
Saturday 12.30, 17.30 and 19.45/20.00
Sunday 13.30, 16:00
Monday 20:00
Though would imagine the number of games live in one weekend would be capped at 5.
Second question - given the move to 210 games, is it just time for the PL to give up on Saturday 3pm games and show every game live? Have 5 fixed time slots over a weekend and just have 2 games live in each slot and scrap the 17.30 slot and leave that open for Championship games.

Yes, in short. There's been a thread in AE about TV subscriptions discussing similar - but I think this might be a next step in the move towards something similar to the NBA 'League Pass', where people can pay $30 a month, or whatever, and watch any game live.
For now this additional 42 games is likely only to dilute the value of TV subscriptions since, I'd be willing to wager, those games will end up on platforms other than Sky and BT.

^Sutekh Sorry but it's all just so very ****
Can't wait for Reading to one day get back to the PL and have every league game kicking off a twat o'clock because some greedy suits say so.
Just waiting for Sky to spot nothing happens at 10am on Saturday or Sunday, then there'll be a "demand" for regular 8pm starts on a Sunday...

Marino136ft Kerplunk Can't remember Chelsea fans complaining that their team kept getting extra rest last season.
that was just an example because two teams are playing each other this weekend
who competed in the champs league in the week.
one plays tuesday in spain, one players wednesday much further away in azerbaijan
i think it certainly needs looking at.
off the top of my head too - i recall chelsea playing away at atletico on the wednesday and
manchester city were at home on the tuesday prior to their premier league game in
september.

Go on then how would you change it when the two competition schedules are set at different times - PL has started before the CL groups are drawn? Personally I think it's a disgrace that Spurs have to play WBA tomorrow despite having to fly to Germany and back this week while WBA players got to sit on the sofa watching them play.

More flexibility with the fixtures. would have
made sense for chelsea to play on the tuesday night in baku or
move the liverpool fixture to sunday.
chelsea have played atletico away and quarbag away on the wednesday ahead of two top 6 v top 6 fixtures
where the opponents have had their games on the tuesday.
