[QUOTE="BarMoo, post: 144134, member: 175089"] Guardian Thursday 17 November, 2005. [FONT=Geneva][SIZE=1]The Premier League has reached a settlement with the European commission over the television rights to live Premiership games. [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Geneva] After months of wrangling, the EC today claimed the compromise deal would give fans "greater choice and better value". The deal is also set to end BSkyB's exclusive 13-year hold on live coverage of top-flight English football. The league is offering to sell live games in six "balanced" packages with no one bidder allowed to buy all six packages for the 2007/08 season. Live TV rights will be sold in six balanced packages with no one bidder being allowed to buy all six packages. Packages will be sold to the highest standalone bidder for each package.
