I could live without (some) football. But not rugby, especially Heineken Cup. This is proper game changing. Interesting though that the English clubs seemed to have brokered a deal with BT behind the backs of sky and the ERC. Where does that leave the rest of us? |

Maybe BT will cripple ESPN to a degree where they buy them?

I hope we somehow end up with it in the XL pack again, I couldn't see myself paying any more for TV.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
The current NFL Monday night deal with the BBC only lasts a year , so BT could potentially acquire those rights also.

http://www.btlife.bt.com/entertainme...otball-rights/ "How much will the channel cost / will this mean I end up paying more for Premier League football? Our objective is to widen the enjoyment of Premier League football and make it less dependent on signing up to an expensive pay TV package." That to me suggests they have no intention of the channel going into the XL package with Virgin. |
Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Oh I know there isn't a chance in hell, but they can always offer it on smaller packages individually.

I personally see it included on BT Vision packages with customers of other platforms having to pay a monthly fee to access it.

BT has spent £890 million on sports rights so far. If the channel launches at £10.00 per month they will need around 22 million subscribers to take the channel for 4 years just for them to break even. Based on previous Setanta Sports and ESPN subscriber numbers, I think BT will be lucky to get more than 1.5 million people taking the channel. Didn’t Setanta peak at about 1.1 million?
If and when BT land more sports rights you’ve really got to start to wonder how much money they are prepared to throw at this. Can anyone really see BT overtaking SKY as the nation’s favourite TV provider? |
