When Sky won its first-ever Premier League rights it was favoured to the extent that it was invited to raise its bid once ITV had put its bid in. However, things have changed a lot since then but very understandably some people believe Sky gets special treatment. As we've seen in an earlier post here, some believe that even if it bid less than BT it would secure rights.
Who said that?

Edit - sorry, realised you misunderstood Media Boy.
