==Origins==
The new league was created for commercial reasons with the intention of capturing increased TV revenue.  Skillful marketing ensured that the tactic was a complete success.  As football has become even more commercialised going into the 21st century, the issue of TV rights and subsequent income has become an important issue for clubs and a major source of finance for those involved in the Premier League.
