Nice to be getting a bit extra income.
I fear that we wont feature often.
If my memory is correct we were only shown once at home in the two seasons Setanta showed BSP, and three times away.

Would be good if they could also do a regluar goals highlights show like Setanta used to do

However...


Conference Turned Down BBC TV Deal
It has been revealed that the Football Conference turned down an approach from the BBC to screen highlights last season.

After the collapse of Setanta Sports in the summer of 2009, the league found themselves without a TV contract and it has now been revealed that an approach by the BBC was turned down.

The deal would have seen highlights and goals on the BBC Sport website and on TV but on last night's Non-League Show, sports rights analyst Ryan McKnight revealed that a potential TV deal had collapsed.

He said that the deal collapsed because the league thought they could get a better deal elsewhere ''They missed their chance with the BBC, that was the golden opportunity.'' he said.

''At the time the Conference thought they could get something better.''

It is widely expected that the Conference are about to sign a TV deal with Premier Sports which will see 30 games screened on their £6.99-a-month channel.

The conference were set on a full tv deal.

This one they have with premier sports will not last two seasons. With Sultana, you had the premiersh*te and other decent sporting events. With premier you have garlic and other really sh*te sports. Who is really going to spend £7 a month in the hope of watching an odd alty game??  especially when the highlights would appear on youtube soon after the game.

The conference do seem to be a little poor with their business decisions. The exposure from an admittedly lesser financial rewarding agreement with BBC would have been far better.

Agree with Caspar. The extra viewing figures from the BBC would encourage more advertisers at the grounds.
