It won't be "Sky TV" it will be another broadcasters programs, so if you want Spanish programs, then sure, take them up.
Whats key there is "Sky and ESPN have the broadcast rights to Premier League football in the UK"
Sky legally has the rights to broadcast it in the UK, the Premier League won't be keen giving rights to a tin pot EU company, just look what happened to Setanta.
