Premier League to allow audio of conversations between players and referees

The Premier League will allow live broadcast audio of conversations between players and referees for the first time this season, as part of an expansion of the existing RefCam system. Domestic rights holders Sky Sports and TNT Sports will have access to this audio during live matches. Previously, the head-mounted RefCams, which became a permanent feature last season after a six-week trial, captured audio that was only televised several days after matches under the terms of agreements with clubs.
