Traditionally football’s always been treated in such a way and presumbly would have higher budgets. But with cost cutting being what it is, who knows and the agreement may mean ITV have to carry a Sky Sports logo anyway.
Anyway from ITV’s football output looking quite depleted with England Men’s games also returning to the broadcaster if this deal go through it’ll arguably better than before. Particularly next season when they’ll still have the FA Cup.
