BREAKING: Premier League sells 5 of 7 packages of live TV rights for £4.464bn for 2016-19. Sky gets 4 packages BT gets 1 package

2 unsold Premier League packages of rights are the rights to show all every game on 4 matchnights


Previous deal came to £5.1bn. A minimum of 3 subscriptions needed to watch all live EPL matches.

Piss poor outcome for BT. Only the early kick offs on a Saturday

Seen a tweet that the price has dropped from 10.2m to 9.3m a game. Or sure if that was just sky or included the BT package.

The only packages remaining are bank holiday and midweek ones.

Get free BT with eir internet, so a bit annoyed they have lost the sat evening game, usually enjoyed that

If BT lose the Champions League rights next time round they're screwed. This auction has been very bad for them.

Looks like limited interest in the final two packages. This tv deal is way down on the previous one...

Sounds like the interest in the simulcast packages (F and G) was limited. Huge resourcing challenge for anyone, including Sky or BT, to cover 10 matches at the same time. And not clear that UK viewers like the idea.

Anyone know how they calculate it, last time was 10.2m a game, but 5.1bn divided by 160 games is about £63mn. Not sure how it works.

Same number of games sold for £5.1bn last time, £4.4bn this time plus the midweek ones which brought in will unlikely top the £5bn mark.

Overall Sky are paying less per game, Bt paying more per game. 

Good coparison of both deals here... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-43052024
