Television revenues will increase for all clubs next season after the Premier League's broadcast rights were sold for £3.018bn for seasons 2013-14 to 2015-16, an increase of £1.77bn.Half of all domestic broadcast revenue is split evenly among the league's clubs, with a quarter of the money paid according to a team's Premier League position at the end of the season and the final 25% depending on how often a team is televised. Both Everton and Aston Villa appeared on television four more times in 2012-13 than in their previous campaigns, prompting both to benefit from a £2.9m rise in revenue. Newcastle United's 16th place finish led to a £9m fall in their share.The figure does not account for overseas rights, which are still under negotiation, and such a sharp rise in revenue prompted several managers and chairmen to emphasise the importance of staying in the league.Despite finishing third, Chelsea (£55m) earned less than fourth-placed Arsenal (£57.1m) and fifth-placed Tottenham (£55.8m) because fewer of their games were televised.Relegated Wigan, Reading and QPR will all receive an increased parachute payment, while next season's league winners are expected to receive close to £100m in broadcast earnings.Fulham, Norwich City, Reading, Southampton, Stoke, Swansea City, West Brom and Wigan Athletic were the least televised clubs, appearing live on 10 occasions each.In total, the Premier League's 20 clubs received more than £972m from domestic and overseas television rights in 2012-13.
