- The Telegraph, Wednesday, February 4, 2015 6:44 AM
The media watchdog Ofcom will today reject an attempt by Virgin Media to block the Premier League’s multibillion-pound auction of live broadcasting rights, it is understood. The regulator is expected to spurn an application by the cable operator to use its emergency powers to block the sale, in which BT and Sky are battling for footballing supremacy. Sources said that the regulator will announce on Wednesday that it found no grounds to intervene.
