I wonder how much of this is due to the fact that NBC lost about 1/5th of it's viewer base this past season. Guess I love have to tap my buddy living in London with a sling box, cause I'm definitely not paying $50 for Southampton games...I already pay $50 to watch Celtic

Looks like maybe NBC figured out there was no way in Hades it was going to make up what it paid the EPL so it decided to add another revenue stream????

Pretty much. NBC seems to have caught on that cord cutting is going to eat their ratings, and the best way to make up for it is to find a way to make up the revenue stream.

It's just that unlike MLB and other similar US Sports who use subscription based streaming, Premier League television games are heavily tilted to the most popular clubs. (NBC has no say in what games are picked) so the deal ends up hurting fans of smaller clubs the most.
