The kick-off of the match between Rennes and OM was not broadcast on DAZN, which went on air a few seconds late after a worrying black screen.
During the week, the League announced that the kick-off of matches at 9:00 p.m. was pushed back by 5 minutes when a match took place at 7:00 p.m., to allow DAZN to broadcast the two matches on the same channel without overlapping. In the past, several matches had been cut from broadcast for the first seconds due to the late end of the previous opposition. With this new schedule, the Ligue 1 match between Reims and Nice, which was still very hectic, ended on time.
DAZN’s black screen was scary
But it was the transition between the two meetings that was very complicated. For a few minutes, DAZN displayed a black screen which put everyone on edge. The kick-off was thus given, without it being broadcast and the match was broadcast from the 25th second. Enough to cause a lot of bloodshed on the networks, where the complaints arrived very quickly, between annoyance and humor. “ It’s DAZN that should pay us money every month”, “Even for one euro I won’t subscribe”, “DAZN they scare me too much with their retransmission », launched several Internet users, while some complained about sound problems in the broadcast of the match.
