The BBC reports that last season their football programming was watched by 37 million people and there were a further 40 million requests via BBC iPlayer.

The Director of BBC Sport, Barbara Slater, said: "To keep Premier League highlights on the BBC is testament to the continued success and popularity of Match Of The Day.

The new deal strengthens that relationship even further and ensures the nation's favourite sport will continue to be seen by the widest possible audience."
