But of course, that doesn't align with Sky & Premier League's bank balances.

With the court case as mentioned above don't be surpised if ESPN and Sky come to some sort of agreement to show most games now. I am hearing some things that there will be no longer any 3pm kick offs on a Saturday and a flood of matches over the weekends starting on Friday night and Sunday being nothing but football starting at 12pm. This is to combat the EU "ruling" allowing pubs to show other broadcasters in the UK.
