Behind all of the advertising hype, for those lucky enough to have Sky TV there is a huge change afoot- in addition to the [Premier League’s](https://www.claretandhugh.info/premier-league-rivals-pip-west-ham-to-long-linked-target/) rule changes, goal keeper timing out and ‘corners awarded’ for holding the ball, player interviews on the touchlines- one major shift that hasn’t been talked about will have a massive change on how we watch football.
Described by Sky’s director of Sport as making football _‘Supersized’_, the unveiling of new feature ‘ _multiview’_ means the end of channel hopping: Subscribers can watch four games at the same time.
Without wishing to write an article which sounds like a SKY advert, this multi view package could be a relief in particular for jaded West Ham fans who had to sit through a season of Lopetegui-ball followed by Potters occasional paralysis. Help is at hand since you can keep an eye on three other games at the same time without feeling guilt over a Hammers’ switch off.
Choice of ‘main game’ is up to the Sky editorial team so don’t expect the Irons to be the feature on the bigger of the split screens too often: But a big broadcasting change and likely to ease the pain of supporting the Irons – just a little.
With the other changes to the Premier League – new footballs, VAR’s semi automated technology along with in-stadium broadcast VAR verdicts for fan clarity – it is poised to be quite a different looking campaign. For better or for worse.
