LONDON - Some English Premier League games could be shown on a free-to-air basis when soccer returns after pausing due to coronavirus, culture minister Oliver Dowden said on Wednesday .
"The idea was that people would be able to watch them in the stadium, so they didn't want to compete. Clearly, that won't be possible if we compete behind closed doors," Dowden told reporters. Sky, which is owned by Comcast, and BT own the majority of rights to broadcast the English Premier League, with Amazon also holding some rights. Sky also has rights to English Football League games, while the Scottish Premiership has voted to end its season.
Dowden spoke after launching a taskforce aimed at seeing how sport and arts could be restarted safely following the enforced cancellation of events due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
