"In the 1960s, Burnley F.C. Chairman Bob Lord successfully convinced
fellow Football League Chairmen that televised matches on a Saturday
afternoon would have a negative effect on the attendances of other
football league games that were not being televised and as a result
reduce their financial income.

As a result, the FA, Premier League and Football League do not permit
English matches to be televised live between 2:45pm and 5:15pm on a
Saturday within the United Kingdom. Until recently, the FA Cup Final was
an exception and had been broadcast at 3pm on a Saturday in May;
however, in 2012, the FA Cup Final was moved to 5pm.

Foreign matches shown in the United Kingdom are also affected by the
blackout; Sky Sports do not broadcast the first 15 minutes of Spanish La
Liga matches which kick off at 5pm UK time."
