The Hundred and England Cricket has a similar arrangement to this with Sky also showing the BBC matches. Think the new Super League deal is the same, as are the club rugby deals with TNT and ITV.
Now competitions are increasingly making all games available to broadcasters it seems the pay TV side feel they can sit alongside an FTA partner with having all matches, rather than one or two matches, bring the subscription driver.
