Interesting one and starting next season.

First they lose England games to ITV, then they lose Champions League games to BT and now they've lost La Liga to a company I've never heard of. That pretty much leaves British club football only for Sky viewers from now on. Are they reducing the subscriptions accordingly?

Also anyone know what's happening to the as-yet unsold remaining Premier League TV packages?

Apart from El Clasico, I don't watch La Liga so i'm not too upset about Sky losing the rights and I certainly wont pay this new broadcaster to watch it. Interestingly there are still 2 small Prem packages that have not been announced yet so I wonder if this new broadcaster will hope to get them for their foot into the UK.

I know Sky have had the monopoly on the Prem for decades but if they continue to lose rights then its going to harm the viewers more. Luckily I get BT sport with my Virgin Media package and I pay for sky sports so I get all the football on TV i want. If all these broadcasters start winning rights and start charging monthlies then it could get even more expensive then it is now. I imagine multiple monthlies to different broadcasters will cost more then it does now.

Still the new Prem deal is lower then the last deal but they predict the overseas rights would be more. Is this bubble about too burst come 3 years time.

Im lucky now I get BT sport through my girlfriends EE account, and my new Vodafone account I get Sky Sports Mobile so covered for football. I would not be impressed if being forced to pay high prices to Sky and only get prem football. BT are certainly making great strides with their coverage of Champions League, Premiership.

I would suspect Sky will start to be impacted financially as they can no longer command high prices with limited games.
