Dowden while addressing the press during the daily government breifing, said he thought there could be a "win-win situation" regarding
the broadcasting plans for the rest of the Premier League season, with some
games shown free-to-air.
He said that not having the TV blackout at 3pm on a
Saturday allowed for a "degree of flexibility" in how matches are
shown.
"That creates an opportunity for us to be able to get
some sport, some Premier League free-to-air," he said. "Those
discussions are ongoing, I'm having productive discussions a couple of weeks
ago, now I had the latest one with Premier League, the EFL and with the FA.
"I
hope we can sort this out and I also hope then we can get some more money going
into the sport of football. I think we could find ourselves in a win-win
situation."
