Looks like a big increase in TV money for the Premier League and Premier League clubs 
.
Heres a link:
BBC News - Premier League rights sold to BT and BSkyB for £3bn
Some quotes I've picked out:
"BT has secured the rights to broadcast live Premier League games for the first time, securing the rights to 38 matches a season from 2013-14 to 2015-16."
"The total of 154 live matches is 16 more than currently broadcast and more than 40% of all top-level matches."
"The sales raised £3.018bn, an increase of £1.25bn on the current package which shares rights between BSkyB and ESPN."
"BBC sports news correspondent James Pearce said the amount paid for the new deal was "staggering", marking a rise of 70% on the present deal, worth £1.773bn."
"BT is paying £246m per season for its broadcast rights, while BSkyB is paying £760m a year."
So how much of this new money will Premier Clubs actually receive themselves? It appears to be a big increase on what they are currently getting so does that mean we can expect clubs to have a lot more money for transfers etc.? Are any of the other big leagues, La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Serie A, getting a new deal?
Edit: Have just seen in the Chelsea thread someone posted a link about this:

Do you think this will have a large impact on clubs ability to comply with financial fair play as I thought those rules were being put into place before this deal kicks in?
