Sky Sports To Have EPL Finale To Itself; BT Sport To Show No Games In Final Fortnight

Sky Sports' "dominance of the Premier League fixture picks means rival BT Sport will have no live game in the final fortnight of the season," according to Charles Sale of the London DAILY MAIL. BT Sport will "run out of matches" after Swansea-Everton on May 6, despite its package of 42 matches "giving them enough for one every weekend of the season." Sky has the EPL finale to itself "because the complicated procedure of picking TV games forces BT to have a number of double-headers," leaving the channel "empty-handed at the business end." A BT Sport spokesperson said, "We've been very happy with our choice of matches and we still have a lot of football including the FA Cup, Champions League and Europa League finals" (DAILY MAIL, 4/25).
