Wire TV v Wire on Facebook : Sun Mar 05, 2023 8:20 pm  

Last year I paid my £6/mth and watched Wire TV. Full games viewed on the Tuesday after each match etc. No problem. (Also £1.99 for a 24 hour pass).

Now I stumbled across Wire on Facebook Watch at £3.49 a month. Full games viewed on the Tuesday after each match etc. (Although this says 2021 matches....).

Confused.

I dont want to debate whether £6/mth is good value or not.

What I want to know is what is different between the 2 services ?(assuming the reference to 2021 is incorrect).

Has anyone tried Wire on Facebook Watch?

(Never saw this promted, but maybe I just missed it).

They were doing something during covid that was about 3 quid that was mainly old stuff though, can't recall off top of my head if the current behind doors matches were being shown on it.

I didnt think that was a thing any more tbh

I used to have it, it's discontinued now as far as I know - they stopped taking my subscription at any rate. As Catpiss says it was mainly just old games at that point I think - maybe they atarted showing the current games on there - not sure. there is more content now (though still not great) with pre match / post match news conferences with Powell shown etc.

Anyone else finding Wire TV is going the way of the last subscription service.
Poor content additions and half of those are available on YouTube.

I dont recommend it to anyone.
I paid for a year, I won’t renew it in 6 months time if things don’t improve.

I looked at WireTV and thought it wasn’t worth the £6 per month but I just do the 1.99 24 hour access which works well - I have Sky so I use it for the non Sky games.

Given how much we’re on Sky / C4 it works out better value than the full membership.

It's not great, but its £6/month, hardly breaking the bank and you normally get pre / post match comments from Powell plus a full re rerun of the game the following Tuesday. Yes the game isn't shown in any great quality - just a single camera tracking the action, but it's good enough - again for £6 per month.

In an ideal world the next TV deal will have a full production team filming every game (I thought the current deal was supposed to give that tbh).

I got a month pass to watch a few games when we weren't on SKY. I've missed the Wakey and Hull KR games but not surei can be bothered subscribing to get them. It is very poor quality.

If we don’t get a new TV contract I guess it will be something to have.
