USL has all their stuff on youtube and it does help accessibility tremendously. Hopefully CPL can do better than Youtube. DAZN or a "CPL Live" streaming platform in conjunction with some games on National TV as well as local TV for home matches is the way to go.

They were poor at first for the NFL streaming but improved things after many complaints. One problem is with getting DAZN streams playing in bars/pubs though.

nas Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Getting DAZN into bars is completely doable, you just need to pressure your local pub to actually do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtlMario Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Great to hear on the latest Bunbury interview that they are working on a streaming and TV deal. Can't wait! CDNFootballer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpursFlu Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I walked in to a bar the other day and the owner was watching Europa league. He was a Gunners fan so he used his sign in from home. A few weeks ago i watched a few Benfica fans walk out of a bar because there was no champions league. I tried to explain to them and the bar owner that its not on tsn its now on DAZN and its an app you could easily get. The combined age of the group might have been 1000 so by the end they all just threw their hands up and assumed i was crazy. I might as well have been speaking another language RS and Nerf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I searched high and low for a bar having the Canelo fight on just over a week ago and only one place had it and was charging for it as well. All the other usual places had no clue about how to put up a DAZN broadcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems they do 'Ticats TV live streaming, mobile ticketing, in-seat ordering, in-stadium WiFi, and in-game contesting'. Any Ticats fans? I've only used the streaming once for a pre season game, but I think it went okay. The mobile ticketing works quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note, I will say about streaming that there will be some growing pains during the transition years. As other have noted, for many of us it is like the Champion's league isn't happening this year. I bump into highlights every once in a while, but not nearly as much as when TSN showed them a lot to promote their own coverage. If that kind of vacuum happens around CPL, it can't possibly be good for the league in terms of gaining broader attention. Sure, they may get some needed revenue from DAZN while they try to capture the footy market, but in the meantime the average sports fan will see nothing in terms of casual exposure. In the end, I think that is a blow to CPL gaining wider traction. And I don't think l die-hard interest alone will be sufficient in terms of viewership. I hope I am wrong, but I think that this could really limit the growth of the league in the early years. Gopherbashi and ImYourKeeper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) If DAZN becomes the broadcaster, the best plan for the league will be to send a rep(s) to bars in each CanPL city walking them through how to get DAZN on their TV's. A little handholding/tech support will go a long way.

They might just not be interested in CPL. Too niche, not a big enough local fanbase, no proven level, too much big soccer already there. They might not see much to gain from it at the current time.

dyslexic nam Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 It would be nice to get some official resolution of this issue. The season is scheduled to start in just over 3 months, so hopefully we will hear something soon. ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
