[QUOTE="BarMoo, post: 144138, member: 175089"] I might be writing BS, but surely this exercise doesn't end-up with 'choices' for the footie fan. If all pacakges are open to individual bids, the field is now open for individual broadcaster's/providers to throw their weight, and a whole load of dosh, at a specific bid. SKY will no doubt try for five of the six (with a huge hike in subs prices offloaded onto us later). But, what if it ends up like this:- Package 1 = SKY Package 2 = TOP-UP TV Package 3 = BBC/ITV Package 4 = NTL/Telewest Package 5 = BT Package 6 = Setanta Subscription hell if you ask me. Who get's more money = the FA, who looses more = the footie fan. Have Fun, Mark. [/QUOTE]
