ITV will show highlights of all of England’s games in the cricket World Cup which begins next month.
Media regulator Ofcom said on Tuesday that England’s games, including the fixture against Scotland, will be shown on the main channel as well as the semi-final and final, according to a joint proposal from ITV and Sky.
Other games, including Scotland’s remaining matches, will be shown on sister channel ITV4.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Boxing makes a big return to terrestrial TV next month with 2 world title fights.
On the 21st February Manchester's Martin Murray travels to Monaco to face undefeated top 5 pound-for-pound world champion Gennedy Golovkin on Channel 5. And after an absence of nearly 5 years, ITV confirmed today they will be showing Carl Frampton defending his IBF title against hard hitting number 1 contender Chris Avelos on the 28th February.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/box...elevision.html
ITV executive Niall Sloane said: 'This is a first step back into boxing for us and it is very exciting.
'It used to be that fighters were built up on terrestrial television before going on to pay-per-view with the likes of Sky. But lately the wider public have been deprived of the chance of seeing brilliant youngsters like Carl.'
This is big news for boxing fans as it looks like both Channel 5 and ITV have a commitment for the sport. Impressively these are 2 of the biggest shows world wide in February and they've been opened up to a massive terrestrial audience. Will be interesting to see the impact this renewed interest in the sport has on SKY and Boxnation.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Lets hope this is just a start of it as Boxing does itself no favours by narrowing its audience by going PPV all the time.

I would imagine ITV are looking to alternatives to Champions league football which disappears at the end of this season.

It's got to be more of a threat to BoxNation as Sky's PPVs are low risk for it whereas BoxNation is a one-product company dependent on ongoing monthly subscriptions. It's interesting to see ITV "back in the ring".

Interesting. Some how though I can`t see how they can stop it. At the end of the day if a broadcaster wants to pay silly money for football rights then surely they have the right to do so. They must also have a rough idea just how much fans are prepared to pay in subs to watch it too.
What gets me wondering though is why Virgin media are sticking their noses in. My thoughts are that when the current deal with BT Sport to bundle in their channels in the xl package ends they know or fear BT will want to be stand alone channels like Sky Sports. As we all know BT will have so much more to offer from next season.

More info here:
"Virgin Media’s chief corporate affairs officer Brigitte Trafford said: “The Premier League has pushed ahead with its early sale of TV rights despite Ofcom’s investigation. With 18 months until those deals begin, there is plenty of time for Ofcom to pause the auction process while it completes its inquiries."
“Failure to do so will leave fans, who already pay the most to see the least amount of football in Europe, facing yet another big rise in the cost of watching live football on TV.”
"An Ofcom spokesman said: “Virgin Media has today made an application for interim measures, which we must now review. We aim to reach a decision in a matter of days.”"

Well at least there are no adverts for viewers to plough their way through.
