Channel 5 are set to land the television rights to the Football League from the BBC.

The Daily Mail says the Football League are due to announce a three-year deal with C5 for all their divisions plus the Capital One Cup, starting next season.

C5 won the contract with an estimated offer of £2million a year, which was marginally better than the BBC's, and a pledge to screen their show at 9pm on Saturday.

This was seen by the Football League as a far better way to promote their product than being put in the graveyard slot after Match of the Day.
