Spain and Italy's TV rights are all messed up. In Italy last year they delayed the season two weeks, I think, becuase they did not have a TV contract ironed out. I believe they face a similar situation this year because there are one or two new satelite stations that want in on the Serie A gig. Sppain is split in it TV rights. The eight biggest clubs want to sign their own deals while the rest of the top division and all of the second want one deal that covers all teams.
