I'd imagine that if the sporting bodies involved were that concerned about viewing figures they'd just make the contracts available to the FTA broadcasters ie BBC , ITV , C4 etc let's not forget the Premiership highlights can still be seen FTA later the same night. The whole bidding process is about one thing and one thing only MONEY.
