If not you are keeping it away from a major demographic.. Thinking through my circles, maybe only 5% still have cable tv.

You get access to games that don't air on the main channel. Initially I had the tv package, but now I only do streaming. It is cheaper if you buy the whole year access, put if like me you only want period access, the month to month is quite economical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, beIN has an online-only package, perfect for laptops/tablets/smartphones, it's called beINSports Connect and it's pretty goddamn awesome. And I'm cancelling it today for the summer since the European season is over lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's annoying that I pay for it on TV I can't watch online and if I pay for the online, I can't watch it on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From purely a cord cutters/streaming service perspective..its hard for me to say which I'd prefer to buy/which would be better for potential CPL watchers...beIN Connect or SportsNet Now. beIN is cheaper and is geared towards soccer fans...SportsNet Now which is basically Hockey, Baseball although also has Premier league games.

If they were willing to do it for free then sure, but if it was like early MLS with a pay to broadcast model there would be no point in putting it somewhere casuals would never see it.

Oh for sure we'd want CPL on Sportsnet over beIN, so it'd be Sportsnet Now over beIN Connect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rheo Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Now for something constructive after my unconstructive Anchorman quote. It might be helpful if we all make sure we hit the CPL website everyday. They aren't updating it much since launch but I'm sure the traffic numbers will be important to advertisers/sponsors/media partners, etc. I've tried to go everyday to the main one and the fan section.
