TV contracts dictate daytime scheduling of Caribbean matches

The staging of its matches - with games starting around the time the temperature went down in the evenings, when fans were free of their nine-to-five jobs - guaranteed sellout crowds at all six venues last year. The lights meshed perfectly with the carnival atmosphere and its slogan, "the biggest party in sport". Calypso rhythms, fireworks and dancing girls were added to the mix, making it a rousing success.

It'll have a different feel over the coming six weeks of the second season. With a new contract with BT Sport television channels in England to be considered, the tournament has made the adjustment. After all, television contracts are the main revenue earners as much for the CPL as for the WICB.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Last season the CPL attendances were solid since fans could come to games after work. No such luck this season

Very sad to see that after last years buzz and success the incredible atmosphere of mostly night games and the day games on weekends with double headers including the home island playing the schedule for this years CPL is many neutral grounds at ridiculous times not just mid day but mid day on work days is just sad. How do they expect to create any kind of atmosphere or context ? to cater completely to foreign TV  but the TV product will  be poor without the full atmosphere and context of home crowds

A local 9pm close of play would be 1 or 2 in the morning in England;

an hour later in South Africa.

India would have to watch from 10.30pm to 5.30am the next morning..

"The biggest party in sport" takes in two new islands in 2014.

Buoyed by University of the West Indies (UWI) research that put the CPL's combined impact

at US$105.6 million in the countries where it was played in 2013 :

Grenada government reportedly paid US$500,000 for the first three matches to be staged

at its National Stadium;

the St Kitts-Nevis government is said to have spent US$1 million to be able to hold nine

matches, including semi-finals and final, at Windsor Park in Basseterre.
