EC warns BSkyB about premiership monopoly

The European Commission have warned that BSkyB will not be allowed a monopoly on live Premiership games when their new three-year deal expires in 2007.

It follows the announcement that BSkyB will televise all 138 live Premiership football matches from next season after other broadcasters failed to meet a price for a package of up to eight live games kicking off at 5.15pm on Saturdays.
