Sky face Premier League TV rights battle.

Satellite broadcaster BSkyB could lose its exclusive live coverage of Barclays Premier League football to the Arab TV channel Al Jazeera.
It is understood that senior figures within Al Jazeera, which is owned by the Qatari royal family, are contemplating a bid for the rights when they are put out to tender next year.
The move would be a serious blow to Rupert Murdoch’s Sky TV service which is heavily dependent on the revenues it earns from the millions of subscribers who tune into its exclusive football coverage.

I don't think we can get Al Jazeera in this country. So that would mean no Premier League football on our TV.
