The first match will be broadcast on Channel 3 (analogue) and Channel 3 HD (Digital 33). There will also be EPL highlights just after midnight every Saturday from 24th August. The first match will be Everton vs. Arsenal at 11:15pm on channel 3 and channel 4 HD on 23rd August.

I don't think it makes any difference. Still the jibber jabber.

I think I will stick with CTH and watch the games I actually want to watch.

[SantiSuk]

Surprising. Confirms that CTH don't know how to run a business.

[Chicog]

Why? Do you know how much Thai TV paid for those 23 games (out of 380)?

[SantiSuk]

No, but I'm guessing that giving away 23 top games (so far they are all involving a top 4 team) will be extremely damaging to their sales of their own product to Thais. I'm guessing that Ch 3 being publicly funded is not in a position to shell out loads of dosh.

Brand owners of exclusive product rarely allow such nibbling away at their exclusivity.

You are welcome to guess otherwise.

Who said they gave them away?

Plus if people get a taste for it, they are more likely to subscribe,

Not to mention they aren't all "top games" - half of them involve Merchandise United.

Dunno - who said they gave them away?

Fair points otherwise. We're done on this I think.
