Delayed Football Rights

So BSkyB now has all the football rights that are going!
They’ve now got delayed rights to all the premiership matches on a Saturday, being able to replay one match in full at 8.30pm and the rest either as 45 minute highlight packages or in full. I’d guess that Sky will put one on at 8.30 and let viewers decide which match to watch in full at 10.00pm using their digital technology, much like they’re doing with the Champions League.
As well as diluting the rights that the BBC have bought for Match of the Day, this is bound to upset the EU who are said to already be investigating the Sky deal.
