Looks like we'll be on Channel 5 quite a bit next season:

Uefa Cup: Channel Five signs three-year deal
Channel Five has signed an exclusive three-year deal with Uefa giving the network first pick of all Uefa Cup matches from 2009, plus the final, currently broadcast by ITV.
Under the terms of the deal, which begins in the 2009-2010 season, Five will have the first pick of matches in each round as well as the final.
The deal guarantees the channel 15 live Uefa Cup games a year over the whole period for the competition in which four British teams are expected to be involved.
As part of the deal, ITV has second pick of seven games, five so-called third picks and three fourth picks throughout the tournament.
However, from 2009 ITV will lose the rights to the final and the right to show all games from the quarter final stage onwards, which it enjoys under the terms of the current deal with Uefa that has one year to go.
From 2009, ITV's games will be broadcast predominantly on digital channel ITV4 - with kick-offs scheduled at 6.05pm or 8.05pm as part of a new competition format.
The Uefa Cup has performed strongly for ITV over this season's competition, with peak audiences in excess of 1.5 million viewers watching on ITV4 and a peak of more than 7 million watching this year's final on ITV1, in which Rangers lost 2-0 to the Russian team Zenit St Petersburg.
For the first time, TV rights for the tournament from the group stage onwards have been sold collectively rather than by the individual clubs involved.
Five negotiated the agreement with sports marketing agency Team, which is distributing the TV rights on behalf of Uefa.
Robert Charles, Five's controller of sport, said: "Five has been the place to see the Uefa Cup with more than 100 games shown over the past 11 years. I'm delighted we have secured these rights and will now see the tournament, from the first round right through to the final, on Five until 2012."
ITV's director of news and sport, Mark Sharman, welcomed the fact that the new deal gives the broadcaster a portfolio of rights to live Uefa Champions League, Uefa Cup, FA Cup and England internationals until 2012.
