Last updated : 05 January 2014 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City could pick up £144,000  if their FA Cup Fourth Round tie at Arsenal is shown live.

ITV and BT Sport will announce over the next few days exactly which games they will be showing live and if City's game at The Emirates is chosen, which it could be considering the lack of stand out ties in the draw, then both sides will get £144,000 each.

Both sides will also get paid if the game is shown live on any of the Al Jazeera Sports channels.

The clubs will get £6,750 if highlights of their game are shown on the ITV1 highlights show more than just the goals.

If Radio 5 Live or Talk Sport have the match as one of their commentary matches, the clubs will receive £6,750.
