Goal!
For football supporters in the UK this could be good news. Basically, Sky will no longer have a monopoly on Premiership football.
But what's stopping another cable company (NTL/Setanta etc.) bidding and winning. Would fans then have to fork out for 2 subscriptions?
Now British TV is as 3 dimensional as ever, perhaps BBC and ITV could bid together?
As long as ITV let BBC produce the show. Until John Barnes started hosting football on Five, ITV's 'The Premiership' was possibly the worst sport programme ever.

It's about time televised football in this country was divided up fairly between the terrestrials and other interested parties, similar to how baseball is in the US. There's enough to go around, so why should one broadcaster have more than 80% of the rights?
agreed...although in baseball they play so many games that no network could show every game!!
my big worry was that a 2nd pay service will get the 20% and not a terrestrial broadcaster. which would be no better to anyone!
