It is unheard of in France, it is only this Thursday, on the eve of the resumption of the championship, that the broadcaster of two matches per day was known.
Canal + was forced to respect its commitment to BeIN Sports and then to the LFP to broadcast the Saturday and Sunday matches provided for in its contract. An imbroglio of less than a year after the fiasco of Médiapro, which took only a few months to broadcast French football on television. As a result, everyone is lost when it comes to broadcasting the French championship this season. This is what emerges from a poll carried out by Oxoda for RTL and Keneo. ” Few of the French people know on which channel they will be able to see Ligue 1 next season, but they are sure they will follow it no matter what! Two-thirds of French people and three-quarters of football fans intend not to miss it … in one way or another “, Thus summarizes the polling institute, which refers to the fact that 75% of respondents do not know precisely on which channels will be broadcast the matches of Ligue 1 this season.
And broadcasters are not necessarily going to rub their hands when they see the results of this survey, since among football enthusiasts, only 20% intend to subscribe to Amazon or Canal + to follow Ligue 1 this season, a sign that there is still has work to do to clarify the offer and make it easily accessible, both in terms of availability and price. Too bad, because the potential is there, since 80% of those questioned who are interested in football claim to want to follow the results and rankings of Ligue 1 every weekend. But to see the matches on television, it will obviously be a different story.
