Bloomberg currently reporting that a bunch of championship clubs

...are in early discussions about forming a breakaway league.

Says that it's "some of England’s most-followed soccer clubs currently playing in the Championship", and that "at least 10 clubs have given their support to trying to find an alternative" to the current Sky deal, which they see as "too long and too small in value"

Doesn't name them, but does say "Championship clubs such as Aston Villa, Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest have strong followings and rich histories".

Also says that "One idea being discussed is a Premier League 2 of 18 clubs that would try to ally with a new broadcast partner ... The teams intend to discuss the plan with current soccer broadcasters as well as technology giants such as Amazon.com Inc. and Facebook Inc., which are showing increasing interest in live sports".

Interesting...
