Football on TV ... Who has what?

[Deleted]

All,

It looks like La Liga (Barca\Real Madrid) will be going to BT Sport for the upcoming season due to SKY dropping out of the tendering process.
SKY have had the Spanish League for 20 years but due to them overpaying (£4.2 billion\£11 million per game) on Premier League rights for the next 3 seasons they cant afford to fight BT this time.

Yep La Liga eventually went to SKY even though they backed out of the bidding process. A contract was being written up with BT but somehow SKY still ended up with it. Apparently the Spanish rights holders are a bit dodgy.
