Not likely

SBS would be the only one interested and Fox is always going to pay more
Never argue with an idiot, those watching may not be able to tell the difference

i find fox is a very attractive option these days.... but i'm biased because i live in qld and its my best chance of getting live afl

the sports package also has espn so you get reasonable (i use that term loosely) coverage of champions league without delay and f.a. cup

Funny enough you should ask that question. Over here there are no EPL live games on free to air and it is our national sport and with sky and setanta paying something in the region of £800m for the contract, it's never likely to return to the beeb.

Sky runs at $140 a month for a package and you get around 75 live games for that. They also had a premiership package that costs and extra $100 per year to get another 30 odd games although you could go PPV for around $16 a game. This has been scrapped this year by sky who now offer 92 live games per year.

On top of this you get at least 3 live FA games each round, all the CL games, shared between Sky and ITV, and around 50 live CCC, CCL1, CCL2 games. Sky also offer an interactive service that shows all EPL games every Saturday night from 8:00 through to 4:00am. You can just select which game you want to see from the list. Effectively allowing the viewer to watch every EPL game (full 90 mins), back to back.
