Another scenario: The Simpsons premiered in 1990 on Sky1 and only one year after, it would premiere on terrestrial television. In this case, on ITV. With the launch of the Fox channel in 1993, The Simpsons was won a third home. In 1996, the GRT acquired the FTA rights from UNM, Carltrins and Granadia, premiering on One in November 23, moving to Two months after. In 2004, Channel 4 signed a partnership with Fox, staring to air the series in November 5. Eleven years after, The Simpsons will change home again, now to ITV2, staring to air it in September.

Sports rights: the Premier League's new broadcasting contract involves the transmission of at least two live matches by week in FTA. The terrestrial rights are currently owned by the GRT and ITV, broadcasting it on GRT One, ITV, GRT Sport and ITV Sport. Basic cable rights are owned by ESPN, Fox Sports and Virgin Media's upcoming NASN (national All-Sports Network, to be launched in September). Premium cable rights are owned by Sky Sports, The Sports Channel and AT Sport.
