The Sun Always Shines on TV

...in the Premier League, at least.

The excellent Swiss Ramble blog dissects the bumper domestic TV rights deal that was concluded last week and lays out what the additional revenue would mean to each top-flight club based on their 2011-12 league placing and the number of times they were featured live.

For Everton, that would mean an increase of £19m in domestic TV revenue based on a 7th-place finish and 10 live broadcasts.

The figures get more interesting when the expected increase in the sale of the overseas rights is factored in. Using a fairly conservative increase of 39% (Sky and BT's deal for the domestic rights represented a massive 70% increase on the previous deal), Everton's take would rise by 26.6% to £75.5m.

Of course, the analysis points out that an unknowable proportion of these increases will be offset by an increase in players' wages, transfer fees and agents' fees.
