Unlike the Champions League - the UEFA live tv rights are done on a club by club basis with the teams and the broadcasters fighting it out themselves.
It is possible for the home leg to be on 1 channel, and the away leg to be on a totally different channel (IIRC Celtic's games last season was like this - Home leg on BBC - Away on Channel 5)

At the moment the only team to have done a deal are the eventual winners of the competition - Southampton - who have done a deal with British Eurosport.
Doesnt seem like a full on bidding war went on, does it?
