A good time to be a former player looking for a job as a tedious pundit who talks in clichés and platitudes.

Don’t forget to come across in an aggressive manner to make a point

So about 6 or 7 games that are going to be broadcast live each round of fixtures?
I mean who wants to watch that? I get it that some people like football more than others but I don't think I can think of anything worse than watching a marathon of football on a Sunday featuring Sheffield United v Wolves and Bournemouth v Everton.
I can barely stomach watching MOTD most weeks, in fact I'll often end up catching 20 minutes or so.
There's got to be an oversaturation point, surely?

I don't think there is an oversaturation point. Most Premier League clubs have at least 100k fans, some a lot more. Plenty of them will watch every game their team has, then there's the nutters who will watch any football because they love it so much. Every game will be televised eventually. The interesting thing is that this deal is only 4% higher than the last one, which rolled over the previous deal. I think that means 4% increase over 6 years. So it seems the money may be reaching the peak. Although I don't think this includes international rights, which probably grow faster.

Sky Sports will show 215 games live each season. TNT Sports will show 52 games live each season.
That only leaves 113 games that won’t be televised.
Which means there will only be 113 Saturday 3PM kick-off games per season from the 32 Premier League weekend fixture dates.
That equates to 3.53 Saturday 3PM games per week.
And the average Premier League team will only have 5.65 Saturday 3PM fixtures per season. Some will have more. Some will have less. Maybe someone will have none?
You often get games played on Sunday that aren't televised too, if one of the teams has had a Thursday European game so it'll be a lot less that 113 I would think.

Only 4 percent higher but haven't they had to show more games live to get that 4? Probably less money per game? At a time when inflation is running so high it seems maybe the peak cash point has been reached a few years ago (before COVID) domestically in terms of money per match to be made.

Was reading that the amount Sky pay per game is less in the new contract then now, so I suppose in their eyes that’s a good deal,also Sky have grabbed 80% off all televised games, they will only be happy when they have a monopoly, if allowed? Would assume with the new football league deal and this new premiership one then not be too long where every game will be shown, probably with a type of club tv season ticket.

Every game will be televised eventualy.
They are already, except some earlier FA Cup / Carabao Cup matches. Just on some random channel in the Middle East rather than in the UK. Usually with British/English-speaking commentators too. That's why IPTV is so popular because you can get access to them.

They aren't allowed to have all the games, hence why multiple packages
