Line 29: The [[The Football League\|Football League]] sued ITV Digital's parent companies, Carlton and Granada, claiming that the firms had breached their contract in failing to deliver the guaranteed income. The League lost the case, with the judge ruling that it had "failed to extract sufficient written guarantees". The League then filed a negligence claim against its lawyers for failing to press for a written guarantee at the time of the deal with ITV Digital. This time it was awarded a paltry £4 in damages of the £150m it was seeking.<ref>{{cite web\|title=Hammonds wins Football League claim - but pays £4 damages\|url=http://www.thelawyer.com/hammonds-wins-football-league-claim-but-pays-4-damages/120618.article\|publisher=[[The Lawyer]]\|date=2006-06-23\|accessdate=2014-07-13}}</ref> The channel closed on 1211 May 2002 with coverage of the [[2002 Football League Second Division play-off Final\|Division 2 play-off final]] between [[Brentford F.C.\|Brentford]] and [[Stoke City F.C.\|Stoke]].<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/media/2002/may/03/broadcasting.itvdigital ITV Sport to close on May 11]</ref> Eventually, in 2017, ITV would launch a similar channel by the name [[ITV Box Office]].
