i think this is good news, i think they should 'group' matches to be televised, so say the rights will go to NTL, they show the vast majority of matches for the price they pay, others shown on sky, as sky pay for them and then some on FTA channels such as the BBC. its what he EC want apparently and i agree with the idea, aslong as some matches are accesable to all, the problem is if NTL earn the rights to the lot or vast majority then they have a limited viewership, which in my view is bad for football, so there has to be some leeway.
