PL to boost TV games in new deal
The Premier League will make dozens more games available in its next TV rights auction as clubs target an increase on the huge £5 billion deal they secured last time, a report said Friday.
Britain's Daily Telegraph said for the first time entire rounds of Premier League matches would be shown live and football would go head-to-head with entertainment programmes on Saturday evenings.
Four full rounds of Premier League games will reportedly be up for grabs -- three midweek rounds of fixtures and a programme on a public holiday.
The Telegraph said the league had issued the tender document for TV rights to fixtures for three seasons from 2019-20 and 200 of the league's 380 matches would be available -- 42 more than at present.
