BBC make enough as it is so there not fussed tbh

Yeah, that story broke about a month ago - the "sealed envelope" bidding deadline has passed, and the announcement is due imminently.

BT have only put in a token bid and have effectively pulled out of showing premier league footy : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...-prepared-ditch-Premier-League-TV-rights.html

Basically confirmed here : https://www.theguardian.com/media/2018/feb/02/bt-chief-we-dont-need-premier-league-rights

Disney will do one of 2 things - either say to Sky "what the f*ck you doing bidding that much?" or give them a blank cheque.......

Sky's on about scrapping Monday night football to save on costs looks like they don't want competition

 

[smudgester]

The way football is shown on TV in the UK has got NOTHING to do with competition.

If it was truly competitive then BT and Sky would both have been able to show the LFC v Spurs game on Sunday live.

Forcing a consumer to use two companies in order to get the same thing they were previously getting from just one, does not make the market more competitive.
