That is not what I mean. BBC outbid ITV for for premier highlights and FA cup.
Premier highlights are protected and will always be FTA under current legislation. I say let ITV, CH4, CH5 and other FTA channels battle for it.
As to FA Cup although it is only the final protected by the legislation FA have made it clear that they will not let it all go subscription much the same as UEFA have insisted BT make some Champions League matches FTA (which could well end up on Channel 5 if BT are successful in their Bid for it)
