What is considered televised?

[AurioDK]

I can watch pretty much all PL matches every week at home, I was wondering what televised in terms of income means in FM. Some weeks you get nothing, some you do.

PL goes on which matches are televised on UK TV.

It depends on the league, but having televised games on generally means more money. It's meant to reward teams that are popular/more entertaining as they'll be on TV more regularly, and also to contribute towards the expenses of having all the TV stuff going on at the stadium. If you hover over the TV icon on your fixture list it should tell you how much extra money you're receiving for having that game televised.

Yes, I know that. But I did write that at home I can watch ALL Premier League matches live through VIAPLAY which is television here in Denmark, doesn´t matter whether it´s Luton or Manchester City, they are also all commented either by Danish or English commentators. But I guess that isn´t considered "televised" if it´s only what´s shown in the UK on live TV.

Yeah, the UK broadcasting deal isn't paying for games that are shown in Denmark. Televised is the games that actually get extra money awarded to the participants by the broadcaster, and often get moved to different timeslots to account for being televised.

Saturday 3pm games are not allowed to be televised in the UK to protect attendances at lower league clubs

What happens to the money I am paying in Denmark to watch the PL live then?

[Dadecane]

I always took it as games that are shown on a public free for all channel. Not a payed subscription or carrier. 
 

Here in spain it should be 0 games for every team cuz la liga doesnt show one single game on free tv channels. We actually pay a higher % of our salary to watch football than any other european country. 
 

the only games we get on the “free” channel are some copa del rey games, and supercup games

Overseas rights are sold as a whole package, so that would not be on a per game basis
