Make the most of Sky Sports 5 this season, next season onwards will be old games galore LOL

BT need Champions league badly , their channels are severely lacking when it comes to key sport , I have it included with my BB and hardly ever watch it. The key battlefield will be the next premier league rights.

And l for one expect Sky to bid very strongly for these rights and BT will be lucky if they get any more then they have already got.

After the current season, BT will have the Champions League so they will be in a far better position even if they just retain what they have. The trouble is that if they win too many rights they can't give away their sports channels with broadband which is why they set them up in the first place!

That's why they may wish to give Sky a run for their money when it comes to the Premiership rights next time around. That's the real prize.

Aye totally agree.
Does anyone know when the next rights are coming up for the EPL? we usually find out a year in advance whos getting it dont we?
If sky do bid huge for the football rights next time its us who will pay the price by another massive hike in prices. They said bringing in other providers would be better for us. It's just meant we pay more!

I haven't forgotten, Dave, and I know how much retaining the Premiership football rights means to Sky. But BT seem to be pretty determined themselves, and in this scenario it must surely be down to a mix of how desperate each party is and how much they have to spend. I don't think we should underestimate BT.

Word on the street is that it will be before the next general election (7 May 2015) so that politics does not get involved eg one party promising a certain number of EPL matches to be shown FTA if they are elected.
