They can sign Pope Francis and I still won't be buying their Champions League coverage!

He'll be a lot better than most on there den! He sounds monotone but compared to some of the clowns they have he'll be a vast improvement. Just need to get rid of Owen. I find it staggering he didn't audition for such an important role. Or if he did audition I find it staggering he was successful.

Replace him with gray. I find gray odious but he's good at his job at least

BT Sport £13.50pm from October, up from £12pm. Presumably the relatively few VM customers who do not get it as part of a bundle will see the same rise.

When you consider that rise as a percentage of the whole it's staggering compared with the £2 rise for Sky Sports. Especially given that it'll be another year and presumably another price rise before we see any significant changes.

I suspect another increase once champions league kicks in next year anyway. If they get more epl rights, then prices will increase further

It will come as a shock to the usual suspects who believed BT were a benevolent organisation.:D

Most of us saw it coming and as it`s been pointed out there`ll be another rise next year,possibly larger with the champions league games being added by then.

BT Sport adds German rights as Sky Sports battle continues.

BT Sport has added to its soccer rights portfolio by inking a deal to broadcast Germanys home friendly matches and live games from the DFB Cup, Germanys leading club team tournament, in the UK.

The news comes less than 24 hours after the broadcaster, which will shortly begin its second season of live Premier League game coverage, announced it had secured the rights to the Portuguese Primera Liga.

Not a shock in the soccer free quarter but the Grauniad really should check their facts:

The sports channels have an estimated 5 million viewers, because BT gives its the channels away for free to broadband customers, and because Virgin Media homes can tune in at no cost if they already pay for Sky Sports.

Um er no they cannot!

Shrewd move given Germany's World Cup success.

I think pricing hangs on those EPL rights. By the time that BT is showing Champions League matches in 2015/16, it will know what EPL rights it has from the 2016/17 season onwards and can set its prices accordingly. (It would be a bit strange for it to push up the price of BT Sport in 2015/16 if it knew that from 2016/17 it had won an inferior EPL rights package.)
