Then broadcasters are free to differentiate their coverage from other competitors by offering the likes of HD coverage, games in 3D, multiple commentary options and in game red button options.

For terrestrial TV the Premier League could offer a combined package of match highlights and 12 live games per year. The Premier League could use the free to air games to continually advertise and push their 154 live game per year pay channel.

That way there are free to air and pay TV options. Everyone has access to live Premiership action. The problem is as long as people are happy to subscribe to SKY Sports and BT Sports this will never be an option. It's us the consumers that have the power to drive change.
Wasn't this idea put about before but the EU would rule this was a cartel arrangement and therefore illegal.
