BBC SPRT / MATCH F THE DAY
BBC News – Mar 30, 2007
We and Sky have lost our rights to live coverage of the FA Cup and England home games from 2008 to a joint-bid from ITV and Setanta. I’m not going to suggest it wasn’t a blow for us but I have to say the mood here is one of resigned sadness rather than shock or anger. This is partly because we suspected it was coming but also because we understand the financial realities behind the announcement. Unlike all the other broadcasters involved in this bidding process the BBC is not a commercial organisation. We’re funded from the licence fee so our desire to broadcast national sporting events to the nation has to be balanced with the remit to broadcast not only other sports beyond football but a huge variety of other BBC output across all platforms.
