Renewed TV Deal

with the top 6 loop hole

The Government has approved the deal "in principle" with an "exclusion order" under the competition act, which allows the league to renew without its normal tender process.
 
It's probably the best deal they could get, a bidding process would almost certainly have caused a significant drop in the value. This way, Sky/BT retain most of their "exclusivity" - important for BT as they're looking to offload the Sports side of the business.
