History
Serie A was first shown regularly in Britain in 1988, on Welsh broadcaster S4C. In 1990, British Satellite Broadcasting brought the first live Italian football to a small number of British homes with squarials on The Sports Channel, which later became BSkyB's Sky Sports. After the foundation of the Premier League in 1992, Sky bought the rights to live games in the English top flight every week of the season.
