Premier League
broadcasting revenue: how is it distributed?
Liverpool are calling
for overseas broadcasting deals to be changed. How much is each club receiving
and what is the ratio between top to bottom earning clubs?
The debate over the Premier League broadcasting deal was
heightened last night after Liverpool called for overseas rights to be sold on
a club-by-club basis.
Liverpool follow clubs such as Manchester United in arguing
against the traditional English clubs' broadcasting deal. Andy Hunter writes:
Liverpool's managing director, Ian Ayre, has insisted the
break-up of the established broadcasting deal, worth £3.2bn in total to all
Premier League clubs for 2010-13, is "a debate that has to happen"
with the Anfield club in favour of the Spanish model that allows Barcelona and
Real Madrid to negotiate individual contracts that dwarf their domestic and
European rivals.
The English broadcast income for clubs is generated in three
parts: 50% shared between the 20 clubs equally, 25% in facility fees and 25% in
merit payments which depend upon where a club finish in the league table.
Facility fees are paid to each club every time their matches are shown on UK
television, with each club being guaranteed a minimum of ten fees.
The overseas broadcasting income is shared in equal measures
by all the Premier League clubs. A belief that the bigger clubs will earn more
by arranging their own overseas deals has driven some of the Premier League
clubs to push for the collective deal to be abandoned when it ends in 2013.
The ratio of top top to bottom-earning clubs has also
dropped since last season - from 1.66:1 to 1.54:1. This shows how the Premier
League distributes broadcasting income in a far more equitable way than other
top European leagues. In comparison the ratio is 12.5:1 for La Liga and 10:1
for Serie A. The graphic above shows how large the gap in the ratio is between
the Premier League and other European leagues.
The table below shows the total broadcasting payments for
the Premier League during the 2010/11 season. The domestic payments consist of
the equal share, facility fees and merit payment. The overseas payment and
overall total are also shown.
