VillaChris Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Didn't like his Commentary but he did do a lot of other "field" work outside of comms (and remember he did all reserve and youth comms). Any interviews with players at Acorn or community events were done by him so it's still a role that will surely be filled as we need someone to conduct interviews. Unless it's going to be an internal appointment like Amelia getting a bigger role alongside modelling on that shopping channel or whatever she does.

They probably feel they cant run it anymore with the drop in finances. Ironically I think the average fan would be more inclined to get it now with the loss of widely available streaming of premier league matches. A lot of fans would be thinking "I'm not going to sit through 2 hours of a highlights show on channel 5 watching 200 goals over 3 leagues to catch a 30 second glimpse of Villas goals". This would be a good time for AVTV to up their game and cash in on the fans who wont be watching streams anymore. We'll still need a youtube channel, clubs in league one and two have them ffs and of course with the need to promote to the Chinese market now... So yeah someone still needs to be presentable on those segments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jarpie Posted June 3, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2016 What I would do is to make AVTV completely free, and probably put all content into the youtube channel, and I'd put some money into it. I don't think you can underemphasise the importance of PR when it comes to the sport clubs. I can almost guarantee that the new potential fans will check the videos first, how PL teams handle the PR (or at least what's my impression on it) is from ten years back. If we hit the ground running in the championship, we gotta have the feelgood factor in the videos too and try to use it to build up the PR. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srsmithusa Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 My problem with Jack was that he did too much "painting pictures with words." I just wanted someone to tell me what was happening in the match (it was audio only most times. Until recent years, in the states, it was hard to see every match so AVTV was a needed access. It just didn't work well for that. I subscribed for several years but let it go when more matches made to to my cable. With us in the championship, a subscription channel that streamed live matches would get my subscription. Closest thing to a season ticket when you live on another continent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I think they really need to invest in Avtv this year. I've normally watched away games at my local pub the last few years, but they won't be able to get the championship games. If Avtv were able to get every game shown or at least extended highlights on, they would get a lot of fans subscribe as it would be the only place to see them.

Not in the clubs control that unfortunately. The rules around the th deals mean they couldn't broadcast them live if they wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Sky shows a lot of Championship games and if Villa are doing well you can guarantee they will get a lot of coverage. All you need is a tiny little river (d'ya get it?) to watch them on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastie Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Extended highlights would be enough to make me sign up again but in the past I've joined for live friendlies and both times the coverage didn't work - needs a total revamp. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I wasted money on it this past season as I never really had any urge to watch our highlights or interviews. I don't think I will be doing that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billson Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I'd be more interested in subscribing to AVTV now Jack has gone, he drove me mad the way he always tried so hard to come up with memorable one-liners. They'd always be terrible, like "Villa in wonder-land in sunder-land" & "A curler, a swirler, an absolute pearler…". Also, the entire commentary for Angel's wonder goal vs Chelsea was embarrassing. I'm glad he's gone personally! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
