not sure - virtually all the media attention focuses on the Big Four though

lack of relegation won't affect them much.

Look at Sky (and its their money that supports the whole edifice).

On Sunday they showed the Arsenal and Liverpool games. Arsenal and Liverpool games are pretty pointless now - we know they'll come 3rd and 4th, Ok not in which order but that makes no difference (3rd and 4th both have to play a qualifying CL round) - but I bet we see loads more of their games between now and the end of the season.
Huge relegation battles however get ignored virtually all the time. Will Sheff U/Charlton/ W Ham/Wigan games against each other be shown? Bet they won't (was Charlton v W Ham? or any of those crucial relegation duels the season we were in the Prem, when the relegation battle was easily the most exciting thing going on?). With a few weeks to go we'll still be watching pointless Arsenal & Liverpool games.
