I’ve got to agree with this. We’re box office.

Speaking truths, guys like TNT aren't going to fork out a fortune on TV rights just to broadcast Burnley Brentford or Luton Wolves with respect to those clubs. They're in the money business, they want to stage the biggest games, the biggest fights, the biggest events no matter the sport.
Unfortunately for TNT they only really have 3 slots and 1 of them happens to be 12:30 on a Saturday. It'd be interesting to see how often we're shown live at 2/4:30/8:00pms on Sundays/Mondays
Really? Are we more popular than a Man U whose losses make even better viewing? Also, we seem to be picked when we're away rather than home with travelling over 200m (to London). Man U are as popular if not more and if your theory of popularity bores credence should have equal or close to the number of 12:30 kick-offs, which is not the case
You could argue since Klopp's arrival, we have. On the whole we're not but there is 1 main reason behind this and that's because of Utd's regular participation in the Europa in that time. Playing 6/8pms on Thursdays means you can't play 12:30 Saturday.
Brentford will be the 5th? 12:30 we've had this season, home to Everton and away to Wolves, City and can't remember the last.
Other games we've also been shown live this season include - Chelsea (A), Newcastle (A), Spurs (A), Brighton (A), Luton (A), Sheffield (A), Palace (A), Utd (H), Burnley (A), Chelsea (H), Arsenal (H), Newcastle (H), Arsenal (A), incredibly a lot of away games lol, + all our EL games and cup games such as Bournemouth, Norwich, Arsenal, West Ham, Fulham and Soton coming up. Given we're only in the middle of Feb, this is a lot of times for 1 club.

How much say do TNT have in who plays the 12.30? I would have thought that would be driven more by the distribution to the Asian market
Edit : On reflection, TNT probably sell on the rights for Asia, so they are very vested in who plays
I believe the rights are separately negotiated. TNT call the shots on who gets the 12:30 slot
Press conference here
Starts @ 10:38
10:40 Sven-Goran Ericsson - accepted invitation for legends. Really happy about it
12:00 Team news - Mo back in full training, Ibou not suspended, Joe is ft again, Connor's back, Ali's back, Thiago not - may have forced Trent back? No we never force anyone back. Last decision is always player but not only them (Dom was in the Q but not mentioned in reply)
14:45 opportunity to go 5 ahead but Brentford tricky - Toney, Maupe and AFcon players make a diff, good at set pieces, can't avoid them, very compact defence, lots of speed, but saying that we need to be on top of our game. I'm fine with the resilience we've shown
17:00 Unusual for PL team to play with two central strikers. Problem? Problem is balls played to Toney, and how they use their 2nd ball game. He is very smart, uses his body. He keeps them in the EPL
18:45 Last year you lost against them and sixth - big turnaround this year - blah blah response - it means nothing for this game
20:00 Because of horrendous injury problems (???) what about versatility eg Gomez, Elliott, Jota? - very important, how squad should be, good sign for squad. Long discussion on Joe LB/RB
23:00 Harvey - frustrated? No, we've talked
25:00 Trent and Dom - how long out? It's serious, with Dom it's around the Final, Trent a week or two longer

Trent got another type of injury, so that wasnt related. Same with Thiago.

I don't doubt you are right, but I think this means that the people who tell us Liverpool get 12.30s because we are so popular in Asia are just selling us a line of bullshit to cover up the evil conspiracy.
Either that or TNT are taking backhanders from the Asian TV companies when they select their fixtures, which is just another evil conspiracy
"... and it's LIVE!" - which coincidentally is an anagram of evil
Predicting a demolition job on these tory cunts.
They won't know what hit them with that Bradley Salah partnership. Who even is their LB with Henry out? He might as well sit this one out to save himself getting embarrassed.
Early red card for him & 0-5
Up the fucking....fucking reds!!!!

We're in the Europa Cup, and we're doing Saturday 12:30pm kick-offs. As you said its 5 and its only Feb, more than any other team. A club can only be televised 29 times maximum
