BBC, Sky in row with BCCI over telecast

MUMBAI: UK broadcaster?s the BBC and Sky are in a dispute with the BCCI over the telecast of the upcoming India versus England series.

Reports indicate that Sky Sports might provide commentary from London rather than from India due to a dispute in the fee that cricket?s richest board is asking for. Negotiations have been going on a week.

The BBC might also not have radio commentary from India but do it from the UK. The BCCI is asking for ?500,000 from Sky and ?50,000 from the BBC for using facilities. Reports also indicate that if the deadlock is not broken then it will be the first time in two decades that an England overseas tour will not have commentary from the venue.
