Major Premier League TV change with broadcasting giant to lose all coverage next season

ALL Premier League matches outside of the 3pm blackout will be shown on UK television starting from next season.

Previously, domestic fans were often left frustrated by not being able to watch certain games.

In particular, several Sunday 2pm kick-offs involving teams that had played in Europe on Thursday night would not be shown.

Under the new four-year TV deal, which kicks in at the start of next season, this will not be the case.

The £6.7bn agreement will see Sky Sports show 215 live matches per season, more than ever before.

Sky purchased four of the five packages made available.

This will see them broadcast matches during the Friday night, Saturday 5:30pm, Sunday and Monday night slots.

In addition to this, Sky Sports will show all 10 final day matches for the first time.

TNT Sports, meanwhile, purchased one package – enabling them to show 52 matches.

These will primarily come in the Saturday 12:30pm slot, although TNT will also have the rights to two full mid-week rounds of games.

The bumper new TV deal package has seen Amazon Prime Video squeezed out.

Under the previous agreement, the streamer would show 20 games each season.

Prime will continue to show Champions League matches, however, with two years remaining on their current deal with Uefa.

Prem highlights, meanwhile, will continue to be shown on Match of the Day, with the BBC having retained the rights.

Next season will usher in a new era for the show, with long-time presenter Gary Lineker having departed the Beeb.

Lineker will be replaced on a rotating basis by Gabby Logan, Mark Chapman and Kelly Cates.

The 39p trick to get your garden furniture rust-free and it works in magic while you sleep

WITH summer now here, most of us want to go out and make the most of our gardens.

But, if you’ve left your furniture out all winter long, then it most probably is rusty and not looking its best.

Fortunately, a garden furniture expert has shared the easy way to get it looking brand new again rather than forking out hundreds on new tables and chairs.

The experts at Pergolux revealed how you can use common household items to remove rust from garden furniture and tools.

Sam Stevens, from the company, said: “A lot of people will be looking at their gardens to get them ready for the brighter and longer days ahead. 

“Garden cleaning doesn’t need to be an expensive job.

We all love a cheap and cheerful hack, so whether you’re buffing away stains, achieve a streak-free finish on glass or eliminate rust, you’ll find something in your house.”

And one of the best ways to banish rust is by using a fizzy drink.

Fizzy drinks remove rust through a chemical reaction where phosphoric acid converts the rust (iron oxide) into a less harmful iron phosphate compound, reports the Express.

This iron phosphate forms a protective layer on the metal, inhibiting further corrosion.

You can use the drink to clean pretty much anything, from rusty tools and furniture to hinges and the metal parts of your barbecue.

Small tools can be soaked in fizzy drinks overnight while furniture and other large items you will need to pour some of the drink onto a cloth and wrap it over the rusty area overnight.

That means it does all of the hard work while you’re asleep.

In the morning, simply give it a wipe down and the rust should be gone.

Value brand fizzy drinks can be bought at all major supermarkets with prices starting at 39p for lemonade and 49p for cola in Tesco and Aldi.

You can also use ketchup in the same way if you don’t have any fizzy drinks to hand.

This is great for brass or copper garden décor including patio furniture, garden gates or old metal watering cans.

Simply apply a thin layer of ketchup to the affected area and let it sit for around fifteen minutes before gently scrubbing it away and rinsing with water.
