Starmer urges TNT Sports to show Champions League final for free 09:15 - May 24 with 1580 viewsMark

Why should TNT hold this power? UEFA are letting fans down again by giving TNT a contract which allows them to charge for the final. The government should add it to the list of games which must be shown for free, along with the World Cup, England matches and FA Cup final.

How would that even work? How many different countries compete under their umbrella? How would they make money as business giving something away for free?


The same way it has worked since the Champions' League began, with the final always having been free to watch. The advertising revenues must be huge.

The Euros & World Cup finals have to be on free to air TV. Hardly anyone watches even the qualifiers, let alone the friendly games so it would be ridiculous to list them.


I disagree. The England football team should play so the people of England can watch if we choose, not solely to make money for broadcasters.

Because they paid for the rights. Starmer has no right to demand they air it for free although clearly that should be a condition of all future contracts.


More pathetic stuff from Starmer, on the back of his temporarily cutting VAT for children's meals & theme park visits. He isn't very good at this populism lark, is he?
