00:00 The BBC and ITV face a fight to keep their coverage of the FA Cup alive after TNT Sports
00:08 secured a historic broadcast deal. The paid channel has reached a four-year agreement
00:14 with the FA that will see them show a record number of ties from the start of the 25-26
00:19 season. It is thought that a more likely outcome will see the rights sublet to either the BBC
00:25 or ITV, but one of the broadcasters' face is missing out entirely.
00:31 TNT's new deal, reportedly worth £66 million per year, dictates that at least two matches
00:38 in every round, up to and including the quarter-finals, must be made free to air, along with one of
00:44 the semi-finals and the final itself. The FA chief executive Mark Bullingham said, "TNT
00:51 Sports is an outstanding broadcaster that will ensure the FA Cup continues to thrive
00:56 over the coming years."
