Pakistan test series tv blackout?

Probably f***ing TNT shite again, since Sky have no interest in anything outside the English summer it seems

Pakistan’s current series against Bangladesh is on TNT, so it would surprise me if they don’t bid again. Plays into their hands if nobody else is bothered but I just don’t get why Sky wouldn’t want it? Surely the viewing figures will be excellent.

Too busy f***ing around with match going fans' plans for the football to show something that would actually be helpful

I'm sick of sky tbh. Once upon a time they had all the cricket, home and away. Now to watch test cricket properly you need BT sports as well. Just fuck off man. How much do they expect people to fork out every month?

No wonder more and more people turn to dodgy boxes. I haven't yet, but I'm about to.
 
It feels like every time we tour either India or Pakistan there is an issue with TV rights. I expect TNT will pick it up a week before the first test match begins.

You should I paid £90 for mine 10 years 3 years ago!!!

I get discovery+/TNT Sports for free and it buffered more than my IPTV last season.
 
got to love a fire stick, had mine years now can get everything, but im sure TNT just doing the usual and hanging on until the last minute to probably get the best deal, sure it the last india series where Finny and Cook were on the coverage and due to a studio shortage they were presenting it from Sweden

Do it, you’ll never look back ;).

It’s even worse for the football - you need subscriptions with Sky, TNT and Amazon Prime if you want to watch top level stuff.

Paywall TV and music is getting beyond a joke. What with live sport, the likes of Netflix, Paramount, Disney+, Apple, Spotify, Amazon, YouTube Premium, etc, etc.

To be fair I don’t remember there ever being issues in Pakistan before this. You’re right on India though, there are issues with TV, radio and for journalists getting accreditation EVERY single time we go there. The BCCI are a mixture of greedy bastards and unable to organise a piss up in a brewery.
