Cable Forum - General ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

My only criticism is that Sky bought the rights to the second tier of RL (the Championship) and then are only showing a few games. Premier Sports had a Championship game per week.

The RL 4 Nations games are all on live on PS.

l am talking about the other sports as well MM as Sky will try to pad out their future CL evenings with content from their many other sports rights.

I think it's part of a "new" model. If they can become the sole home of some sports they will retain, and attract subscribers, despite the apparent devaluation of their football offering. I, for example, love football, but I only subscribe to Sky Sports because of f1, I wouldn't otherwise.

I wouldn't say that the following is definitely happening as there is no point doing research if you're going to do something anyway! And BT does not have a 4K box and there's been no talk of a 4K YouView box anywhere. But the Champions League pricing sounds highly possible.

"This has not been announced officially, however the wife has just completed a survey which has extensive details of next season's BT Sport pricing.
There are going to be two options.....a Pack A containing the Premier League etc and a Pack A+B which contains CL football.
To get the European football you need to upgrade to A+B which will cost £4 per month extra if you watch BT Sport on a Sky box.
But if you have BT TV then the CL will be free. Looks like they are going all- out to sell their platform.
Also, it said that 4K matches will be broadcast exclusively on BT TV. And all red button matches will be HD only on BT TV."

Don't tell me the agreement with Virgin to show BT Sport runs out then? ;-)

Also did that survey which also said `assuming BT Sport was no longer available on Virgin Media`. Not sure whether we can read anything in that or whether they simply wanted your opinion on which packs you`d choose other than through Virgin?

haha starting to feel the pinch. i wish i could show more sympathy for BT but they came into the market attempting to be the anti sky sports and be fair but really seem just as ruthless as sky.

i believe someone mentioned the other day they think sky sports will keep the same number of EPL games (to protect the money train sky) whilst BT sport will keep the same rights plus get a new extra package of games. sounds about right. keep sky happy give BT a bit more by creating even more televised football.

i expect premier league football on a friday night or 3 games on a sunday? friday night would be good
