VM have a contract to pay ESPN for their channel until the end of the contract, whilst ESPN have a contract to supply ESPN in return for payment.

The takeover by Liberty doesn't change this legally binding agreement, as long as ESPN still exists as an entity. BT can't close down ESPN because of the requirements of various unexpired sports rights. The ESPN brand WILL eventually disappear.

Of course, both companies are free to supercede the contracts if both parties agree.

With immediate effect, Sky employees have been told not to refer to (or insinuate) that Sky Atlantic is a channel that is exclusive to British Sky Broadcasting Group PLC.

Appropriate action would need to be taken by Sky management regarding any issues of insubordination by anybody working for or on behalf of Sky Television. I am afraid I am unable to expand any further due to commercial & confidentiality issues.



Lol, I must admit that, having slated it at launch as not being needed, I have found 4Seven to be useful on many occasions :blush:

All the above of course is based on rumour and conjecture. The four streams testing could be anything, the lack of BT Sport could be VM hanging out to get the best deal and as for Sky Atlantic, well who knows.

Having said that, I can't see the Premiership football/rugby or their sponsors accepting a drop in potential viewers of a few million. The pressure will be on BT to do a deal with VM especially with the lack of uptake by BT.
