Another way of looking at it though is whether BT are confident enough that enough people will subscribe to it on a `stand alone` basis. If sky or virgin offer enough money(guaranteed money)to let them include it in their sports package they`l find it hard to turn it down I think. Maybe it would only be for a few years whilst they get established? One thing is for sure I wont be able to afford sky sports,espn and bt sports unless they are clumped together in a cheaper package and I know I wont be the only one. The winners out of all this might well be the pubs!

The Mail on Sunday says BT are in talks to buy all of the ESPN UK Channels.

Quote:

Meanwhile, BT is believed to be in talks to buy Walt Disney’s ESPN sports-broadcasting business in the UK. It runs three channels in Britain: the flagship ESPN UK-only channel as well as ESPN Classic and ESPN America. It also has a digital business comprising six websites.

Maybe we will see if ESPN sells out to BT:
ESPN - BT Sports 1
ESPN America - BT Sports 2
ESPN Classic - BT Sports Gold

With the BT slots on Sky being sold to an other broadcaster.

I just love Sherlock Holmes & Sherlock Holmes type stories.
I simply do not think of these as such & find I really enjoy them.
Reminds my of going to Stratford to see Merchant of Venice. They were in modern dress,sat with my eyes closed, my mind just could not cope with it :rolleyes:

From a brief Google Bashee looks like the kind of show that I'd really enjoy! Hopefully the rumors are true. :)

I agree with BBC's Ben. Although I've enjoyed some of Sky's 'original' commissions they lack that quality the BBC and HBO give to their dramas. Another thing is the BBC and HBO find and nuture talent, Sky just scour BBC/ITV/C4 commissions for established talents. That being said I do admire their investment in British TV.

And that's the beauty of choice , that said at least you have the choice whether to pay or not with Sky's content unlike the TV tax forced on us too watch the BBC's whether we want or not.

Agree with that sentiment. The BBC has so much guaranteed income it gives them an advantage.

HBO have made some awesome quality tv, Always have a look at any mini-series or new stuff they announce.
