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

It has been pushed back until 2020

Having spoken to Sky last week regarding this I was told Sky had bid for the Champions League & Europa League competitions and it was waiting on the result of that auction and as a result had pushed back the BT Sport launching via Sky

You seriously think one of Sky's call centre staff know whether Sky are bidding or not.:D

Who knows?

He could have received that information via his superiors

Workers in a call centre even higher ranking ones will be as much in the dark as we are , to be clear anything can happen history tells us that but with the exception of those involved in the process we are all just guessing.

Apparently we have a couple of euro 2020 qualifiers on the red button today. But then i click the red button all i get is the generic "no red button games available".

Is it working for anyone?
