Premier League clubs would reportedly be allowed to broadcast Saturday 3pm matches on their own TV stations and online platforms under the radical Project Big Picture plans proposed at the weekend.
Games kicking-off at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon have always come under the traditional British TV blackout, with only Premier League clashes post-lockdown with no spectators being aired on channels.
But according to The Times, if the blackout is eventually lifted permanently, clubs would be given the rights to broadcast games on their own mediums as opposed to rights sold centrally, giving even more power and opportunity for profits to the so-called big clubs.
