NYC Bees, Brentford net higher billing for PL Fanzone on Peacock
Little ol' Brentford typically is booked over the final minutes of this twice-weekly program, produced by the league in London. We gave a quick perspective of the club as the Bees prepare for their big home match against Arsenal on Thursday, Feb. 12.
This was a very last-minute booking. If we have other opportunities down the road to plan in advance, please reach out to us and let us know if you're interested in participating.
Fanzone runs on Mondays and Fridays, but we've mostly been a regular part of the Monday program this season as the production team is giving us ample time. It's a great way to show your fandom and expertise!

NYC Bees on PL Fanzone: Looking at Brentford's shorthanded win at Villa
The show was broadcast live on Peacock in the states. Brentford was the final segment to speak on the club's run to seventh place, overcoming a Kevin Schade red card to somehow gain all three points in the Bees' first win at Villa Park. There also was the look back at Villa's goal, which was taken away because of a clear-cut out-of-bounds sequence before the buildup, verified by VAR and multiple camera angles. It appears the third-place Villa supporters cannot stomach the moment, still.

The NYC Bees were second on the montage, drawing a nice reaction from Rebecca who was watching her monitor. Thank you to the league and For Soccer marketing for including us: We were the only Brentford group (among eight selected fan bases) and the only NYC-based Premier League group on this segment, so it certainly says a lot about our impact in drawing this exclusive opportunity!
