Sky Sports gets four out of six live packages

The Premier League has announced it has awarded four out of the six packages of live UK rights to BSkyB for seasons 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2012-13. The two remaining packages, each of 23 live games, will go to a second round of bidding "in due course". Sky Sports has broadcast live Premier League action to a growing army of supporters since the competition's inception in 1992 and currently shows 92 live games each season. Every Premier League match on Sky Sports is now screened in High Definition to further enhance the viewing experience. Numerous memorable Premier League matches have been shown live on Sky Sports, including Liverpool's unforgettable 4-3 victory over Newcastle United at Anfield back in the closing stages of the 1995/96 season. This season has already seen several vital encounters between the title-chasers, with Liverpool's victory over Chelsea live on Sky Sports last Sunday. This weekend sees the North London derby between Tottenham and Arsenal at White Hart Lane, live on Sky Sports 1 and HD1, when Robbie Keane could come up against Andrey Arshavin.
