Sky Will Not Air Friday Night Premier League Matches In April

Sky Sports "appears to have all but given up on showing regular Friday night Premier League football this season after only four matches," according to Ben Rumsby of the London TELEGRAPH. The broadcaster selected no Friday games among its live April fixtures, having also picked none in January, February and March. Unless it selects a Friday match in the first two weeks of May, Sky "will end the season having used less than half of 10 available slots in a package it paid the Premier League hundreds of millions of pounds to acquire." Sky’s non-selection of Friday matches "in favour of its flagship" Monday Night Football program "comes amid falling television ratings for Premier League games this season" (TELEGRAPH, 2/28).
