For as long as people keep paying them and not cancelling or downgrading significantly. Have Premier League rights reached their peak?

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Prices will always go up regardless as consumers are prepared to pay. That's the unfortunate reality but it's about 90% driven by football.

I doubt these cricket rights are is going impact too much on BT's bottom line and therefore subs. Lets face it, this is £16m a year for the cricket compared to £300m a year for Champions League and Europa.

Its funny as just a few days ago lots of people were cheering SKY about the so called bargain of £18m a year for La Liga rights. When it comes to PR and ratings for The Ashes V El Classico, in my mind the cricket wins, no contest. So a far more sensible purchase for BT in my view.

Rubs hands together, that would be the icing on the cake. Plus Bangladesh series next year

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Good point I agree , one thing the competition does is drive sports prices down if you'll shop around.

As an example just look at the discounts offered over the last year or so for Sky Sports , VM have seen the season ticket on the Sky platform people have been reporting tons of half price for 3,6,9,12 months.

The question is would you have been offered this had BT not got involved in Sport ?

BT Sport have also offered discounts if you take their own TV or inclusive with XL if you take VM or £5 for Sky Subscribers who take BT Broadband.

Just noticed that on the VM EPG on my TiVo that this Saturday's premier league Newc v Arsn match is listed on BTS Europe yet on BT website listed on BTS1, surely a mistake?

Anyone else seeing the same?

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

The game is listed as on BT Sport 1/HD on both my Youview EPG and Sky EPG.

Sky Sports will be showing NFL's Sunday Night Football live for the next two years, bringing viewers an additional game a week and taking the schedule to more than 100 live matches a season.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Not really Dave the VM season ticket saved people money , I'm currently paying the least I ever have for my TV package if you are prepared to shop around and potentially change you can save money.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

So no freeview at all this year and next, I am surprised . Thanks for sharing.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

From what I understand BBC are showing the Wembley games live and Superbowl but that's it, not sure if there will even be a highlights show on FTA.

Although not FTA at least Sky will be showing the last 6 Sunday night games on Sky 1.

Real shame it's all on Sky now, was gutted to lose MNF from Eurosport to Sky last year and now SNF too. Very tempted to get the game pass now.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

The problem for me with game pass is no live playoff games.
