“What we noticed Thursday, and that’s what we’ve always been thinking, is that the Premier League has only been focusing on Wiziwig lately to take down streams, like those from Sopcast for example,” Wiziwig told us. New Year’s Day is a traditionally big date for UK soccer so coinciding with the first day of Wiziwig downtime, the site’s operators stood back and watched what happened. Interestingly it’s what didn’t happen on the site’s first day offline that topped the discussion.Īmong dozens of other sports, Wiziwig carried links to live soccer games and as a result became somewhat of a magnet for companies such as the UK’s Premier League. In the wake of the closure TorrentFreak caught up with the operators of this hugely popular site to find out about events leading up to its shutdown. Citing changes in Spanish law, Wiziwig had been forced to close just hours earlier. But the popularity wasn’t based on good news. On Thursday the term ‘wiziwig’ was the 8th most popular search on .uk, ahead of official sports broadcaster BT Sport.

The site is ranked #1,546 worlwide by Alexa and is the 239th most-popular site in the UK.

Until our report yesterday it’s likely that Wiziwig, a streaming portal covering just about every spectator sport around, had flown under the radars of many readers.
