Certainly not in this country, for some reason J Sports have moved today's London derby to a channel that never shows Prem matches normally - and I don't have it!
"Sure, it’d be nice to watch matches during primetime on a Saturday night if you lived in Asia, but what would you missus say when you tell her you want to watch Hull against Stoke City instead of going to the cinema and dinner for a Saturday night out? "
- Wouldn't happen here as they only televise what they consider to be the 'brand names'
Point 2 is important yes - I just watched Arses v Barcodes on tape, not a chance in ten million Jp tv or radio would spill the beans on scorelines - NHK-BS have paid heaps for the rights to show live games but don't even bother broadcasting 'em til days afterwards!
