PREMIER LEAGUE

SECTION K: STADIUM CRITERIA AND BROADCASTERS’ REQUIREMENTS
K.73.7. w2 riggers (who may be excluded during the period from 2 hours before kick-off
until two and a half hours after the final whistle);
K.73.8. 6 commentators (for the period up to 30 minutes before kick-off only).
The Match Manager will manage all such access to ensure that, as far as reasonably
practicable, the persons referred to in this Rule only have access to the tunnel interview
positions when needed.
Guidance
TV Broadcasters’ representatives are only permitted access to the tunnel interview positions for the filming of interviews,
team arrivals, match reports, and to conduct unfilmed, informal discussions with coaching staff where the latter choose
to speak to Broadcasters (and for the avoidance of doubt they are not obliged to engage in such informal discussions
although they are encouraged to do so).
Hardwiring
K.74.
Each Club shall:
K.74.1. ensure that all Hardwiring at its Stadium is properly maintained and in good
working order at all times when its use is required; and
K.74.2. provide to the League a certificate in writing by 30 June confirming that the
Hardwiring at its Stadium is in compliance with Rule K.74.1, such certificate to be
provided by an independent Person experienced in the design and installation of
permanent outside broadcast cable infrastructure.
PREMIER LEAGUE RULES: SECTION A K
K.75.
Each Club shall permit the installation of temporary cabling by Broadcasters sufficient to
ensure the continuous Transmission of League Matches played at its Stadium in the event of
the failure of any Hardwiring required by these Rules (in addition to any other measures that
the League may specify in order to ensure such continuous Transmission).
Power Supply
K.76.
K.77.
Each Home Club shall make available to Broadcasters, at their request, access to electricity
supply on the day of each League Match sufficient to power the Broadcasters’ operations.
Each Home Club shall provide such facilities and access as is required by a Broadcaster to
establish its own power supply for an Outside Broadcast Compound.
Car Park Spaces
K.78.
Subject to Rule K.44, each Club shall make available to the League a minimum of 20 car park
spaces as close to the main entrance of the Stadium as reasonably practicable for each
League Match played at its Stadium for the use by TV Broadcasters.
Guidance
These car park spaces will be used by the on-screen presenters, commentators and match analysts of the Broadcasters.
As these are individuals who are publicly known and recognisable, car park spaces as close to the main entrance of the
Stadium as reasonably practicable are requested. Car park spaces that are not required by Broadcasters will be released
back to the League no later than fourteen days before the date of the League Match pursuant to Rule K.44
