I'd be more interested to see if the gulf would be as vast without Sky money. Seems like it widens the gap and (along with other nonsense such as the 80-man squads PL teams carry) steadily renders 'smaller' clubs less and less able to grow. The money at the bottom end is trivial in comparison to the top, and Sky's increase in televised games has got to impact car park revenue, food and drink sales, etc. Poor for the atmosphere, bad for local pubs and businesses.
