Pro League goes TV - CNMG.
By Randy Bando (ttproleague).


The TT Pro League has achieved yet another milestone in their short history as the only professional football league in the caribbean, signing a broadcast partnership with local television CNMG that will carry live matches throughout the year.

“It’s a historic day for the TT pro League,” said a delighted TT Pro League CEO Dexter Skeene. “We, Larry Romany, the Board and I have been working on this for the past four years and it’s a blessed day today.”

The signing ceremony took place at CNMG studios, Maraval, Port of Spain on Friday morning and witnessed by TT Pro League Chairman Larry Romany and CNMG Director of Sports Rolph Doyle while Dexter Skeene and Chief Content Officer at CNMG, Julien Rogers where at the forefront.

Skeene continued, “We started by setting up a corporate structure at the League and then we went out and got a better crowd attendance at the games. Now we are into the other step to extend our viewer-ship through this partnership. With this agreement with C TV and 91.1 fm Talk City we are now going to try expand our audience.”

“We hope that the teams will understand the importance of this venture and we hope to create more stars in the local football,” ended Skeene. Fans world wide can now view selected matches broadcasted live weekly, on C TV, 91.1 fm Talk City and also on the world wide web.

CNMG Chief Content Officer Julien Rogers explained the importance of the agreement saying, “This is a special week for us based on our mission of creating more local talent and making it not just available for the Trinidad and Tobago audience but for the world.”

“We are very happy to have signed this deal. Football is a great game and it has taken us all the way to the World Cup and we expect to go back to the World Cup in South Africa 2010. We are happy to be partnered with the TT Pro League in the effort of creating new ‘Soca Warriors’,” ended the CNMG Chief Content Officer.

I thought so too, but according to RF and/or 2099, the NPL is semi-pro, which is why any win for their clubs over ours should count double ::)

I real happy to see dat games go be on TV.

However....ah curious...

If de games on TV....why would attendance be up?

Is one ting if de games exciin and stars identified and hyped etc ah could MAYBE see peeps puttin out de effort to go and check de games personally.  But is Trini yuh dealin wit.  Games on TV so unless is a must attend game like de England game, me eh seein it happenin anytime in de near future.

Fuh dat to happen, there will have to be a really HUGE joint effort between C and de Pro League...AT LEAST

Good luck.

I wonder if the League took this into account and decided to go for the AT HOME audience, as the die hards will show any way.
The opposite side of that coin is that they MAY lose some attendence at games.

OR maybe IF they provided an attractive product and the viewers saw that on TV maybe this may indeed increase attendence at games.
Title: Re: Pro League goes TV - CNMG.
Post by: Deeks on May 20, 2008, 05:54:10 PM
That has always been my big worries about the pro-league. Crowd support. What is the problem? A the venues to far and out of the way? Is crime a factor?. Or people just don't care about club football?
Title: Re: Pro League goes TV - CNMG.
Post by: D.H.W on May 20, 2008, 06:03:17 PM
it have alot to do with venue, In Arima it use to have big crowd during the days of the semi pro league when ah was a ball boy. When they buld Larry Gomes the crowd shrink, ah big part is transportation and crime. When u leave larry gomes yuh have to study about Tranport extra money to pay taxi, and d youth man from Malabar looking to rob yuh. In d Veledrome is closer and safer and no extra money to pay.

Then they should go back to the Velodrome until they develop around the LG Stadium.

this shit about the only caribbean team is false statment :rotfl:. jamaica fooball is shown on sportsmax and the champions cup is shown on fox soccer channel.f:rotfl:. even if it is smi pro, it is still way more organize than your pro league. do you have a religation and promotion system?. and every club in jamaica has their own mini stadiums no one share stadium and we  have atleast 5,000 people at each match, and also export more players to europ. by the way how moch country this channel shows in?. sportsmax is the biggest sports channel in the caribbean. its just a few more fintunening and the premiere league will get pro status by next season.
