So has nothing changed??

Each game will cost the TV companies £10 million.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
BT paid £960m for their 2 packages
Sky paid £4.18bn for their 5
Over the last rights deal BT are paying +30% sky paying +83% more!
Wonder if they'll suck it up or raise the prices a fair bit?

Super Sunday
Or Super Mega Triple Double Extra Bacon Awesome Sunday, as Sky once considered branding it for Aston Villa thrillers. The big news is that Sky have kept the two Sunday afternoon games, including Super Sunday.
Bear in mind throughout all this that the TV companies, of course, get to choose which matches they show, but obviously everyone wants Man United v Liverpool, Arsenal v Chelsea and QPR versus the creeping sense of hopelessness. Thus, all of the agreed packages have included SOME but not ALL first picks.
Sky Sports will have the game at 4pm or so – this package has a lip-smacking 18 first-choice matches, so expect the biggest games to continue in this slot.
They will also show the earlier game at lunchtime. Nothing doing for BT on Sundays.
Friday
Sky have paid 5.136 billion for all their packages and will now show live top-flight football on Friday nights. There will be at least 18 games on a Friday night. This package was bundled with Monday nights…
Sky break bank in £5.136bn Premier League deal 10 Feb 2015
Live football on TV: Your guide to all the action 10 Feb 2015
Premier League TV rights announcement: live 10 Feb 2015
Monday Night Football
...which will still be shown on Sky Sports 1. The programme that introduced the Hairy Handed Richard Keys to the nation and is now so expertly pundited by Gary Neville and Jamie Redknapp stays on Sky Sports 1.
Saturday
Whether we like it or not, the idea of football on Saturday’s is still mired in the 1980s, because people in the olden days believed that football on a Saturday afternoon would stop people going to the game. So they went to a pub with moody Norwegian satellite TV. Catch up, granddad!
Sky Sports and BT Sports have done a Saturday Switcheroo. Sky Sports show the game that kicks off the weekend by kicking off at 12.30.
And then once everyone has come back from the ground/from the shops/from the hypnotic trance of watching Souey too early in the morning, then it’s over to BT Sport for the 5.30pm kick off.
The much less good days of the week, aka weekdays
There was a small package (stop it) of six weekday matches and then eight Saturday matches, but there were only two ‘first picks’ up for scrumps in this section.
Bank Holidays
Last and sorta kinda least, the package for eight Bank Holiday matches and six Saturday matches has gone to BT.
So what does it all mean? Well, it means that Sky have won packages A, C, D, E and G below and they paid an astonishing 5.136 billion to do so. Talk of a new player in town by, and about, BT may have been exaggerated...
The thoughts of Eurosport or whoever muscling in has been curtailed for now. That's what paying ten million per match gets you.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Price rises on Sky are expected but as much as it would have been had Sky won CL rights as well is unlikely.

Yes there is no way that many are going to pay another £15 that's for sure.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Lets put it this way, l think its bad for Tv fans. BT for me is a no simply reason is BT is a totally rubbish, and the horrible log at the bottom ruins the game for me
Clubs should reduce prices to get more fans inside the ground - total rip,
VM will almost certainly put prices up, as Sky will charge more - at the end of the day Fans will suffer
