    THE spiralling cost of watching the English Premier League (EPL) football matches on pay-TV is something beyond the league's control, its executive chairman Richard Scudamore has said.

    When prices last went up in Singapore in 2013, Singtel - the exclusive rights holders to the EPL here - raised the cost of watching the EPL from S$34.90 to S$59.90 per month; the telco's bundled packages, which included the EPL, remained at S$64.90.
