Pretty much agree with all you've said there except the 3pm matches. As only 154 out of 380 Premier League matches are shown - 41% - we don't see most matches anyway. So effectively most matches are "blacked out". I don't know what percentage are shown in other countries, it would be interesting to know.
Certainly, I think the 3pm is unique to the UK because we are said to have a lot of smaller leagues that other countries don't have.

The latest figures I have found show the 32 teams shared $6 billion last season. That's $187.7 million to each franchise.
Each team keeps there own ticket sales.

Thanks. Is the revenue shared equally between teams then?
