The race begins today to find out who will win the media rights to the Premier League’s 2013-16 seasons on US television and Internet. The Premier League has invited companies to begin the process, which could involve a bidding war between FOX, beIN SPORT, ESPN, NBC and others. The decision regarding who gets the rights will have a profound impact on our viewing experience, so this will be a story that we’ll follow closely.
