Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Got a flyer from VM through the post this morning. Half price Sky Sports pack for 3 months (£13.65 pm).
Wouldnt pay £27pm full price but at half price thought why not. Haven't dished out for the HD premium though. I was still on Premiere Collection so have finally taken the plunge and moved over to the Big Kahuna. BB upgraded from 100 to 152Mb and upgraded tel to XL which i had before. Kept everything else as was inc 2 Tivos. £80.74 (without the Sky sports) so getting faster BB (not that i really need that) for just under a quid less than i was paying before. |

BT testing the water for new price point of BT Sports?
http://advanced-television.com/2014/...tive-pressure/ “One of the most interesting price moves in recent months has been BT’s increase in the price of Sky Sports to £21 from £15.50. This does now include Sky Sports 5, but essentially this is the same content as was previously on Sky Sports 1 and 2. To us, this suggests: 1) the BT base currently taking Sky Sports (small) may now be more loyal to BT Sport, thus reducing the churn risk, 2) BT is now also likely paying Sky more on a retail-minus basis; and 3) BT may be testing the higher pricing points ahead of its own bidding for Premier League rights.” |
Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
If BT leave XL pack on VM will not be paying extra for their channels. Sky have more variety and more of what I want to watch. Will miss Serie A greatly but not worth paying BT for from my POV.

I can understand calling it Sky Sports Ryder Cup hd, but the length of the dog as a result is ridiculous!

Still no real update in regards to the WWE Network in the UK?
Noticed this earlier regarding WWE Network in Canada: http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/5144...blem-in-canada "According to F4WOnline.com, the WWE Network is facing a big problem in Canada, and is reportedly fighting to stay on TV. WWE currently has a deal with Rogers Communications, which airs the WWE Network on TV, and The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) feels the WWE Network is “stepping on the toes” of other channels in Canada, such as The Fight Network." |

Virgin Media complains to regulator over TV rights
Cable operator Virgin Media has complained to Britain's broadcast regulator over the way that rights to Premier League soccer matches are sold, saying that consumers are being forced to pay too high a price to watch games. Britain's Virgin Media, owned by Liberty Global, says it does not plan to bid in the next rights auction but it is affected by the prices paid through its role as a wholesaler of sports channels from BSkyB and BT. The two groups currently share the rights to the top flight of English football and are expected to bid again when the next Premier League auction starts this year. The price for the latest rights deal rose 70 percent when it was announced in 2012. "The rapidly rising cost of Premier League live broadcast rights means UK fans pay the highest prices in Europe to watch football on TV," said Brigitte Trafford, Virgin Media's Chief Corporate Affairs Officer. "Virgin Media has asked Ofcom to investigate how the rights are sold ahead of the next auction." Virgin Media filed its complaint to media regulator Ofcom two weeks ago and is expecting a response towards the end of October or early November. It has filed the complaint on the basis that the current rules are stifling competition. https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/...0913--sow.html |

Well done Virgin Media, about time someone stood up and said this, we really are being ripped off for sports coverage in the UK!

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
WWE Network delayed:
http://www.givemesport.com/508444-an...angers-uk-fans "The launch of @WWENetwork in the U.K. will be delayed given discussions with potential partners. A launch date will be announced by Nov. 1." When the WWE Network was rolled out to more than 170 countries and territories, including Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mexico, Spain, and the Nordics a few months ago they got the U.S. English language version of WWE Network with no other partners involved. What is happening with the UK launch? This delay only adds fuel to the speculation that the UK version of the Network will in some way be SKY based. |
