BBC lose The Open to Sky Sports who pay £10m a year for broadcast rights — 1 Comment

  1. The R&A has confirmed today (03/02/15) that from 2017 the Open will be screened exclusively live on Sky in a deal believed to be worth at least £75m.

    The five-year deal from 2017 is believed to be worth more than double the current £7m-a year contract with the BBC.

    Highlights, protected by the crown jewels list, will remain in prime time on the BBC.

    From 2017, the BBC’s coverage will consist of two hours of highlights per night between 8-10pm.
