Gateshead MP Ian Mearns has written to Premier League chief executive Richard Masters urging new proposals. At present, 220 of the season's 380 Premier League games will be televised. Sky Sports, BT Sport and Amazon Prime share the rights to live Premier League football in the UK, with the BBC able to show highlights. The FSA says it would be "disastrous" if fans are stopped from watching games live, warning piracy could increase. It has also warned that fans could use illegal streaming methods to try to watch Premier League games if they are not televised live.
