Apparently (according to twitter sources) there will be some news revealed at 3pm this afternoon.
Any ideas what it could be? TV deal?

No idea, but it'll be an anti-climax. TV deal with some crappy TV channel you've never heard of!

eh ....that's nice.
Is this a good thing?
Is this a highlight show to test the water for live games?
Is it a highlights show made from club webcasts. Panthers and Clan might miss out on exposure.
Nice that its on freeview but with every club posting their own highlights on youtube well before this programme will air is this really going to make any difference. Why would you watch it after already viewing every game from the past weekend?
How exactly is this going to be marketed to generate new fans attending games?
Younger generations don't watch tv they watch youtube. Not sure the elite league couldn't have produced a decent highlights programme running with highlights from each club. Put it on Youtube or something similar that is free to air.
Look at the steelers videos the quality and presentation is excellent. Would that not have been better?
Will be interesting to see how it goes but I don't see anyone other than existing Hockey fans watching this programme.

Only on this forum can something positive be turned into something negative.
A weekly programme, free to air, no-ones yet seen it but already it`s rubbish. We don`t all watch youtube or other teams broadcasts/highlights.
What a bunch of whingeing gits.

So you don't watch other teams broadcasts or highlights but your going to watch a programme which is all about other teams broadcasts and highlights?? |

Get to sit in front of the TV and watch EIHL highlights instead of at a computer or on a phone/tablet?
Yes, please.

I`ll give it a go cos it suits me to watch it on TV, with hopefully some news and comments with no link to any of the clubs that won`t be on youtube or elsewhere. Like I said, forum is full of whingeing gits and no wonder there are only about a dozen posters. |

So its now out that the league turned down Premier sports offer of £150k for 3 seasons of live games highlight shows and full playoff weekend coverage, which was terrific last season with over 12 hours of our league broadcast live.
Premier who have the NHL SHL and CHL and are only getting bigger and better. Would have been good exposure for the EIHL to me. Throw in the BELPOT NCAA competition in Belfast being broadcast by Premier and it being shown live across NA. Not exactly a bad deal.
We have gone 3 months with nothing on TV and now it appears to be the case this new deal with Frontrunner is at the league expense (they are paying for the show to be produced).
Hope it works out for the league but it does seem as though they have "cut their nose off to spite .....etc etc".
