The European Commission said that antitrust "charges" against English football's Premier League following its sale of television rights to British Sky Broadcasting were imminent. Brussels, which has long been concerned about BSkyB's grip on the UK pay-TV market, will be sending out additional charges to the formal "statement of objections" the Commission passed to the Premier League last December. The new statement will deal with the Brussels authority's concerns at the Premiership's bidding arrangements, in which BSkyB won all the live television rights in four separate auctions last August in a £1 billion (E1.4 billion) deal. The BskyB and the League will have two months to respond after the filing of the objections. | ||
