25 yrs ago the league was sponsored by Heineken, and the BBC had a interest in hockey, then came Sky with Seconda Watches sponsoring the league, two huge companies with plenty of clout, and plenty of money. Now Sky plough so much into football they don't need small vision numbers, people pay them anything from 80/120 per month so they are sorted. So now the league transmits it for £10 for 3 games or whatever, now all the punters who have paid top dollar to go start to moan about what they pay, where does it end.Premier sport as you rightly say transmitted it, firstly multi camera, using Televideo as production company, then that got too expensive, they then used the clubs footage, and that really was a shambles, one team covering it with a 30k camera and a top cameraman,and another club using a £6-50p Camera and using a cock eyed moron. Webcasting if far far from perfect, but it's fairly cheap, makes the league money which it ain't flush with, No one has to watch all three games, as no one had to buy full weekend tickets, could the price have been reduced maybe. Is £10 too much to watch your team play, don't think so. You can please some of the people some of the time, but try pleasing hockey people all of the time, ain't going to happen.
HAPPY HOCKEY DAYS.
