Hopefully this won't impact on QPR! More TV Money in 2009-2010. If per chance it does apply to QPR, then hopefully people in the USA will finally get to see how football should be played by a team wearing blue and white hoops!
Football League: LEAGUE CLUBS GET SIGNIFICANT OVERSEAS TV BOOST
The Football League has agreed groundbreaking overseas broadcasting contracts, worth £24m over three seasons, beginning in 2009/10.
The new agreements represent an increase in revenue of almost 300% on existing arrangements and follow the £264m deal, announced earlier this season, with Sky Sports and BBC Sport for domestic broadcasting rights.
For the first time, The League has split its worldwide rights across a number of different partners. The new agreements will see four different broadcasters and agencies holding the rights to show League and Carling Cup matches in Africa and the Middle East, whilst IMG will market The League's rights to the rest of the globe.
In total, The Football League will have 6 overseas broadcasting partners from August 2009. They are:
IMG Worldwide (excluding Africa and Middle East)
Pitch International Middle East

Supersport South Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa (part), Nigeria (part)
GTV Sub Saharan Africa (part)
In announcing The League's new overseas broadcasting arrangements Football League Chairman Lord Mawhinney said:
"The Football League prides itself on producing some of the most competitive and exciting league and cup football in the world game.
"These arrangements, which reflect a huge increase in resources for our clubs, demonstrate that the global football audience is increasingly recognising this too.
"I would like to welcome all our new broadcasting partners to working with The League and its clubs." Football League
A possible Australian comeback for goalkeeper Mark Bosnich who spent much of 2007-2008 training with QPR.
Fox Sports/Marco Moterverde - Bosnich return linked to Roar
May 24, 2008 FORMER Australia goalkeeper and self-confessed cocaine addict Mark Bosnich could re-launch his career with Queensland Roar.
Southern sources have confirmed the A-League club has been in discussions with 36-year-old Bosnich about a guest player stint during the upcoming season.
The Roar has denied it has been in discussions.
The career of Bosnich, whose former clubs include Manchester United and Aston Villa, nosedived in 2002 when he was sacked by Chelsea for failing a drugs test.
He later admitted to having a cocaine problem and revealed he was at one stage snorting 10g of white powder each day.
But Roar coach Frank Farina has been a long-time admirer of Bosnich, who played 17 times for the Socceroos.
"There is no question that Mark was one of the best goalkeepers Australia has produced - maybe even the best," the former Socceroos mentor said in his exclusive Courier-Mail column last year.
Farina and Roar chief executive Lawrence Oudendyk denied the club was in negotiations with Bosnich, who has also been linked with a move to Central Coast Mariners.
An overweight Bosnich returned to football last year, training with English lower division club Queens Park Rangers. He quickly lost 15kg and later indicated his desire to again play professionally.
"I think I'm ready to play now, but whether or not staying here (England) or going somewhere else or not playing at all, I haven't really looked that far ahead. That's in others' hands," he told Fox Sports's Total Football. Football
