ECB wanted the Sky deal as the money it generated allowed central contracts
etc. Which is why we are now thrashing the Aussies on a regular basis. put
cricket back on free tv and the sport struggles.

Much better article, thanks Guy. Still assumes that Govt wants both the list
to exist and the tournaments on it!!
Interesting distinction that they were trying to get only the national team
matches allowed on the list - glad it's entirely up to the Govt to put what
they want on it - wonder if
I think every country in the EC can create their own lists, so this is not
UK and football specific only. IE; for Norway where skiing is a massive
sport some of the events there will be protected from exclusive
pay-per-view broadcasting.
the sad thing is that this could be good for dying sports
So the EC has ruled, for the second time I might add, that all major
championships must be aired on free channels. NICE!!
Cheers,

Close.
The EC has ruled that he UK Govt still has the powers to create a 'protected
list' of events that cannot have broadcast rights sold in exclusion of free to
air TV.
Football world cups are on that list currently.
FIFA/UEFA rights resellers challenged that right under treaty conventions
Now I'd love The Ashes back on that list!
