Premier League Football to be transmitted 'free to air' in England and Wales

Petition Details

Since the dawn of the 'Premier League Era', the industry now generates revenues in excess of £3.3bn. One could argue, with such a highly profitable industry, the 'Governing Bodies' and 'Broadcasters' could facilitate free to air games in their respective domestic leagues without suffering huge loss.
