Should live Premier League football be free to watch on TV?

Don’t Tell Me The Score

Available for over a year

Football writer John Nicholson tells Simon Mundie that the Premier League doesn't reach as many people as it should, because it is not on free-to-air TV. He believes that has had a negative impact on society and argues that it could be beneficial to give football heritage status to ensure more people can actually see it.
