Renewed TV Deal

[wolfie1988]

Premier League UK TV deal has been renewed at the same terms as the previous deal and will now run until 2025.

One interesting part is that BT's Saturday 12:30 slot will move to 19:45 if one of the teams involved has played in Europe in the midweek.

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.
