A lot of ther big clubs are not interested in the FA Cup.

There isn't a lot of money in it for them and it gets in the way.

If one of the 4 Champions League places went to the FA Cup - that would change things.

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

Here hoping WWE will stop asking for £14.99 for PPVS outside the big 4.

-Elimination Chamber
-Fastlane
-Money in the Bank
-Stomping Grounds
-Extreme Rules
-Hell in a Cell
-Clash of Champions
-2 TBA from Saudi Arabia
-TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs

I do not mind the top 4 being on BT Sports Box Office:

-Royal Rumble
-WrestleMania
-SummerSlam
-Survivor Series

Still need to pay Sky Sports on top of Premier Sports for SPFL:(

BT is a ideal home for WWE after all they do broadcast UFC.:D

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

Personally, I think some of what BT broadcasts is quite good - unlike any of the above suggestions

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

Serie A is on Premier Sport until 2021

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

I was just combing through DigitalBitRate website and saw some BT Sports Channel stuff that seems new.

First the non-new, C073/Tsid22 has BT Sport 4K UHD, this is the current 4K channel, I'm mentioning this location on the page as this is the existing service.

What I'm drawing your attention to is this...
C052/Tsid14 has BTSport 4K Hidden, BT Sport 4K Slate and BT Sport HD Hidden.

Something new from BT?

It's possible they are preparing to move services, but why labelled as they are?
-----
I just looked at the screen shots that accompany them. The HD Hidden has a BTSport 2 logo, the 4K Hidden shows what looks like an advert for a tablet, and the Slate shows BBC2 HD move (!). Weird, but maybe just tests.

WWE going to BT sport is huge AEW on ITV box office and weekly shows probably ending up on ITV 4 this is an exciting time for wrestling fans

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

Wrestling :LOL:

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

The word fixed springs to mind.;)

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

... and the word sport doesn't.

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

It is as fixed as stuff like Game of Thrones, EastEnders, Coronation Street.

WWE always say it is Entertainment - and in the US it airs on Entertainment channels.

It is only the UK that lump it with sport.

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

What will be the implications for this and the WWE Network?

Wasn't there a dispute between them and Sky over showing PPV events when it launched?

There was talk of legal action at the time between the two and Sky won. The suggestion, if I remember correctly, was that the next WWE deal would change this.

Isn't it likely that the deal BT gets isn't the one Sky has had. Perhaps Sky felt that what was on offer wasn't worth it.

edit:
Also with BT Sports coming to Sky this year it's less of a risk.
