The broadcasting rights for the 2010-2013 period have just been sold, with Sky obtaining 5 of the 6 packages available. The other goes to Ireland-based Setanta. The premier league has netted a total of £1.8 billion, which is just marginally higher than the sale of the 2007-2010 rights, which netted £1.7 billion. Setanta has pain an incredible £159 million for the right to broadcast one package, which is 23 games. This is half the amount of games they broadcast in the 2007-2010 period.

Sale of Premier League Rights
From my research, I have learnt that the Premier League is the most profitable football league in the world. Its current total club revenue currently stands at approximately £1.4 billion, 40% higher than its nearest competitor Italy's Serie A. However, I am more interested in the data regarding the amount of money the league makes from the sale of broadcasting rights.
