However, the real problem is there's too much football on TV, not too little.
To the extent that watching Premiership games from the lower reaches, Swansea, Sunderland, Hull, Watford etc. have become one big yawn.

It did the opposite taking cricket of main stream tv in 2005.
Stanley fans were proud to be on telly in the last promotion year, "we won it on sky etc" and were glad of the attention as crowds boomed.
Fact based, not the opinion of a moaner
