IMG are a rights holder that has the rights to produce and sell Premier League matches and footage to broadcasters
The BBC are a rights holder that has the rights to broadcast highlights to the UK.
That doesn't mean that the BBC can just show the IMG produced content in the same way that they can't just show Sky Sports or BT Sports content (other than the few minutes in news bulletins - that's called News Access)
