This all sounds a bit more promising for the next deal regardless of who wins the bid.

18-10-2018 07:23 PM #3Newcomers Eleven Sports are poised to go head-to-head with BT Sport and Sky for the rights to show live Scottish football.The SPFL are inviting broadcasters to bid for the biggest television deal in Scottish football history this month.BT Sport and Sky Sports currently pay around £21million a year to share 60 SPFL league games and both now want to go it alone.
However, Premiership chairmen hope competition from Eleven Sports will see clubs double their money through a £40m-a-year deal when the current agreement ends in 2020.Founded by Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizziani, Eleven has risen to prominence this year by winning exclusive rights to show Serie A, La Liga and the US PGA Championship in the United Kingdom and Ireland.And a source close to the broadcaster told Sportsmail they would not rule out a bid for the rights to the SPFL, branding it an 'interesting property'.Amazon and Facebook have also held preliminary discussions with league chief executive Neil Doncaster.And Premiership clubs hope to tie-up a new contract by April next year when the broadcast giants divert their attentions to a new Champions League broadcasting deal.The previous record broadcasting deal for Scottish football remains a £31m-a-year contract signed with Setanta a decade ago.BT Sport and Sky Sports have already wined and dined SPFL club chairmen in London in a quest to show their commitment to the game north of the border.
And Eleven Sports, which operates as a streaming platform, are keen to confirm their status as growing players in the British market despite ruffling feathers within the Football Association and SFA by breaching a long-standing agreement to keep live football off the nation's screens between 2.45pm and 5.15pm on a Saturday.The broadcaster has agreed to stop broadcasting La Liga games 'for the time being,' but vowed to challenge the ruling in court.In a statement Eleven said: 'The blackout is one of the biggest generators of piracy in the UK. These games are very easily accessed on illegal sites online and it is naive to think that fans do not watch them because they are not shown on legitimate platforms, except betting sites. It is irresponsible to leave the market in the hands of criminals.'

While I'm happy if Eleven Sports drives up the bidding, I hope they don't win the contract. Their existing coverage isn't available on any TV platform at present. I think BTSport will pull out all the stops to get exclusive coverage. They'd better as if they lost the rights I'd be cancelling the sport I get via Virgin Media.

Another competitor can drive up our TV deal, but the fans will have to pay another subscription

Watched some of the Spanish games this season and the PGA Golf earlier in the year was pretty impressed. Would be delighted if it moved away from Sly. BT Sports or Eleven would be good.

I watch a range of sports, which already means having to pay for Sky, BT and NFL Gamepass. The thought of adding a fourth subscription has so far put me off Premier Sports, so a fifth with Eleven is a non-starter.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

We should be looking for more than 40 million IMO. Our deal was crap years ago and given how the market has inflated and our game has improved - I reckon we are worth more.

Wonder they will share out the money? The English Premier League is as follows for 2017/18 season.
The 2017/18 Premier League earnings have been announced and, despite claiming the title, newly crowned champions Manchester City havent come out on top.The countrys top 20 teams split a pot of £2.42 BILLION this season, with the biggest clubs earning just under £150m each while the bottom feeders settled for a measly £94m.
THE FIGURES ARE BROKEN DOWN AS FOLLOWS:
Each club is ranked by the total payment they received a number that is made up of merit money, facility fees, domestic TV, overseas TV and central commercialisation.
Merit money is very simple as it is based solely on each clubs finishing position in the league.
Bottom of the table West Brom received £1,931,268 in merit money, while every other club received an extra £1,931,268 for every position higher they finished.
Second bottom Stoke received £3,862,536 (2 x £1,931,268), third bottom Swansea received £5,793,804 (3 x £1,931,268) and so on.
Facility fees are based on how many of each club's games were selected and aired on live TV.
To even things out, every side gets a guaranteed £12,312,666, even if fewer than ten of their games were chosen for live TV. The rest get an extra £1,129,879 for each game over ten.
For example, Huddersfield had under ten matches on live TV and so collected the £12,312,666, however Manchester United ended up with £32,650,495 as they had an extra 18 matches shown live.
Domestic TV, overseas TV and central commercialisation numbers are all equal for each club. All 20 sides receive £34,812,558 for domestic TV income, £40,771,108 for overseas TV income and £4,838,892 for central commercialisation (such as sponsors).

Hope this starts a bidding war, Sky lose miserably and BT Sports come out on top. BT have been brilliant for raising the profile of our game. They make a real effort to analyse and learn the game up here, as well as giving the credit our game deserves. We are a mere filler for Sky and for that they can completely **** off.

I love BT
Long may their coverage continue

Not a fan of Sky and much prefer the BT coverage. I would think though that if Sky were to win the bidding they would have to give the Scottish game more coverage and and more credit than they currently do.

SKY just buy Scottish football to keep it in the shadows and mitigate any competition to the EPL... when was the last time they showed a 2pm or 4pm game?

Scottish football may get saturated on Sky but it doesn’t mean they don’t do anything and BBC have plenty on radio.
If BT or ElevenSports get it, they will have to pay more as the advertising revenue will drop as they don’t have the exposure that BBC or Sky do.

I have every confidence in the muppets who run Scottish football, despite the favorable circumstances, to able to fashion an uninspiring deal from this, and if they perform as we know they can, a totally disastrous one.

a lot of consumers for advertisers.
We should be aiming for the Norway type deal, that would be completely reasonable.

Personally I hope Amazon get the rights, it would give me something to watch on the prime video that I never use.
