No. Saturday 3pm games are subject to the blackout again. In league two quite a few games are getting moved to Friday nights and to 1pm Saturday kickoffs.
The good news is the FL are seriously looking at how they could build on the success of the last 18 months and implement something without the PL just showing all their games on Saturdays at 3 pm and it seems what they're looking at doing is creating a difference between a broadcast and a paid stream and allowing streams but not broadcasts.
One of the things they are looking at is where you buy a season ticket which gives you access to all your clubs home games either in person or as a stream at a reasonable price but then charging considerably more than last seasons 10 quid if you were to buy on a match by match basis.
But apparently one of the things thats holding things up is that they've yet to come up with a way of making the i/follow system more secure to prevent all the pirate streams that were about. I guess it's all a matter of making sure that they come up with something that would be guaranteed to create extra revenue and not eat into current gate earnings that would be a lot harder to pirate than it was last season.
