BSkyB concludes tender process for proposed sub-licence of FA Premier League rights


MIDDLESEX, U.K., May 12, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- BSkyB concludes tender process for proposed sub-licence of FA Premier League rights

BSkyB announced today that it had concluded the tender process for the proposed sub-licence of the rights to broadcast six or eight FA Premier League games live in the UK for each of the three seasons from 2004-5 to 2006-7.

None of the bids received during the tender process attained the reserve price per match which had previously been agreed with the European Commission. Sky will not, therefore, sub-license these rights.
