racers and royals Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) The days are being counted down on the calendar !! less than a month to go now. We know that the matches will be ridden in empty stadiums and it will be interesting how this affects the watching experience. Could there be a late bid from BT, SKY, British Eurosport or Premier to show and help fill their schedules ? The timings should be announced shortly. I wonder if any intrepid fans will be climbing trees at the stadiums to catch a bit of the action Friday June 12th Wroclaw v Lublin Eleven Sports Sunday June 14th Gorzow v Leszno N Sport Sunday June 14th Rybnik v Zielona Gora N Sport Monday June 15th Czestochowa v Grudziadz Eleven Sports Edited October 12, 2020 by racers and royals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noodles Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) I see Canal+ has just launched a standalone streaming service. The sports package is about £10 a month & no contract Don't know a lot about these things, would this be available in the UK or likely blocked? https://www.canalplus.com/pl/ Edited May 21, 2020 by Noodles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be able to get on the TV via an hdmi cable then. I'll definitely look into that.

flagrag Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 The question has already been asked about ExtraLiga on UK tv but PZM , their media agents and N+ are all not interested in providing an English feed or even a clean feed with no comms so unless a last minute change of heart will be the usual internet sources Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMcCaffery Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Presumably there's not enough money in it for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flagrag Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 To be honest I am not sure how they are doing the production based upon current situation but on based upon how ExtraLiga was previously produced then yes it would be very easy to produce a clean feed it’s just another section on the vision mixer. Where there would be a cost is getting the pictures from the stadiums to broadcasters as unlike the UK Poland does not have a national fibre optic network for broadcast. So in the UK this would just mean sending two feeds down the connection to then be distributed by BT or NEP UK around the world to broadcasters. In Poland it would require another satellite channel and you pay per minute for that and is a more costly way of broadcasting but can easily be done so yes the declined request is likely to have been based upon a cost decision. Personally with the current situation and the lack of live motorsports I feel that the PZM and their media partners have missed a good opportunity here to sell to new markets. Broadcasters worldwide are desperate for professional live sport content now and I strongly believe countries that are motorsport mad that previously have shown no interest in Speedway like Italy,Spain,Germany etc would take the Polish league as long as it was priced reasonably. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Flagrag is in the TV industry but that doesn`t stop him from being wrong on occasions- The Polish league did provide a clean feed in 2018 when Premier/ Freesports showed live Polish speedway on Sundays. Unfortunately Dave Goddard wasn`t able to do any if my memory serves me right-and the only decent one they used was Alex Raby(FIM TV) who i think did one or two.

flagrag Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 Racers and Royals- You are correct a clean feed has previously been provided from Poland for Premier Sports and I am sorry I should have been clearer the question has been asked in the last two weeks about having a clean feed or them providing one with English comms which they have declined.

Sure it's easy but unless a British speaking TV station wants to pay for it there is no benefit to doing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
