Thanks to vogie for this link, which reveals that Facebook will not now be showing the English Premier League in this part of the world for the next three seasons after all. So who will, if anyone, we wonder.

Every 3 years we seem to get the same drama with this. Maybe it will continue as it is now?

 

What are CTH up to these days? Despite all the stick they use to get they delivered at a cheap price and had English punditry chiucked in.

I must admit that I do miss the 24/7 channel that the EPL puts out worldwide (not the UK). I did find it briefly on a Carribean channel but it seems that got taken down. But as for cheap, the True football package is half what CTH charged.
 

As for what happened to CTH, they had the pants sued off them:

Amazon firestick or similar is the answer for all PPV sporting events.

My CTH comment was tongue in cheek, I know they went down years back.

I would be happy if CTH came back. Still have the box and dish. Paid for 1st year then no more bills/payments but the signal continued for the following 2 years. I can guess why they lost a fortune.......
