Re: What is hitting football viewing figures the most?

I think that there needs to be proper competition in this market and this doesn't happen with the current model of match bundles. Like you've said above to get all the games you need to subscribe to both Sky Sports and BT Sports. I think it would be better (for the consumer not the Premier League, UEFA, etc) if Sky, BT and any other provider who wished to buy football rights could show all the games. This would then be genuine competition as both Sky, BT and whoever else would be showing the same matches giving us consumers a genuine choice of who to subscribe too based on price, quality of service, etc.

Also, no disrespect to some of the teams in the Premier League as they are there on merit, but a lot of former 'big' teams are now in the Football League meaning there are now more less supported teams in the Premier League. This also means there are also a fair few matches that, unless you support the clubs, probably don't entice big viewing figures (Stoke v West Brom, Swansea v Watford, Hull v Burnley, etc).
