Ariel - BBC Four to remain a jewel in new complementary role

Although all have been spared for the time being, some could be axed further down the line, he told a press conference after today's DQF announcements. 'There will be no line management roles between the different TV channels and each will continue to have strong characters of their own,' he added. One plan under consideration was to broadcast every single BBC Prom on television as well as radio, Thompson said. - bbc.co.uk

BBC cuts will have little impact on viewers - this time - Media - The Guardian

If the BBC director general Mark Thompson is right that there is not much fat left to cut, then the next time he will face stark choices. He has found a hefty 700m in annual savings by 2016/17 to ensure that the licence fee is held flat, but he has done it in such a way that there will be little impact on viewers. All the channels and radio stations are intact, and if there are only arts and archive programmes on BBC4 or there are a few more repeats on BBC1, so be it. - guardian.co.uk

Win for pub landlady but Premier League may take second leg - Media, News - The Independent

The ECJ ruled that pubs should not be able to show copyrighted material such as the Premier League graphics and opening sequences without the authorisation of the league, which may now insist on its logo being shown on broadcasts throughout matches. She will now return to the High Court with the 48-page court ruling in her favour. The finding creates a headache for the Premier League, which next year will start tendering for new broadcast contracts which come into effect in 2013. - independent.co.uk

Analysis: pub landlady v Premier League - Media - The Guardian

The first loser, according to the court, was the Premier League. Many, including Nova from Greece, the broadcaster once optimistically used by Murphy, before all this court case started, have the rights to show all 380 Premier League games a year, 3pm kick-offs and all, with English commentary. Suddenly, the Premier League has just lost the basis upon which it, and every other sports body, has generated income for years. - guardian.co.uk

When the EU becomes involved in sport, the organisation which speaks for all Europe seems too often wrapped up in a language all of its own. Although the cause at stake the right to watch football on TV in a pub on a Saturday afternoon may not appear quite to justify accession to the battlefields of Europe, the decision was keenly awaited because Karen Murphy's fight did seem to encapsulate an important public gut-concern. - guardian.co.uk

Premier League avoids TV rights meltdown but questions go unanswered - Football - The Guardian

Premier League insiders said they were quietly satisifed at the outcome of the European court of justice ruling on TV rights. Within minutes of the European court of justice delivering its ruling in a case that had threatened fundamentally to destabilise the rights model that had allowed the Premier League to grow its revenues from 304m to 3.5bn in the space of 20 years, Karen Murphy's pub was filled with reporters seeking her views. Some experts claimed that the ruling, which said enforcing territorial exclusivity was at odds with European free trade laws but that the Premier League might be able to enforce limited copyright restrictions in pubs, would lead to cataclysmic and fundamental changes. - guardian.co.uk

Murphy's lawyers argued she was entitled to show the matches because they had paid a subscription to a Greek broadcaster and that to enforce Sky's exclusivity in the UK was against European free trade laws. - guardian.co.uk

Premier League fans can buy cheap foreign TV coverage, EU rules - Media - guardian.co.uk

Football fans will potentially be able to watch cut-price Premier League matches, after the European Union's highest court ruled on Tuesday that it is not illegal for individuals to buy set-top box decoder cards from foreign broadcasters. The Premier League, which sells TV rights exclusively to broadcasters across Europe on a territory-by-territory basis, has been clamping down on British pubs buying in live coverage from foreign broadcasters. Sky's share price was down by just over 3 to 635.50p at about 9.20am on Tuesday, as the City reacted to the European ruling. - guardian.co.uk

Premier League braced for ruling of Europe's top court over TV rights - Football - guardian.co.uk

The Premier League has convened a team to examine all the possible implications of the European court of justice's ruling on its TV rights deal. In the short term, the decision could allow pubs to show matches on a Saturday at 3pm, which the football authorities have long argued would result in lower league attendances. In the longer term that would probably force the Premier League to sell its rights on a pan-European basis to a single media group a scenario that could impact on its revenues and throw up its own European competition issues. - guardian.co.uk
