Adding Sky Sports 1, 2... to a Virgin bundle is £22 and adding
the same to a BT bundle is £12. That's a huge difference.

Why is this? What caused it? Did BT negotiate with Sky after
Virgin and got a much better deal? Can/will Virgin renegotiate?
Or did other factors come into play?

Any news/rumours/opinions about Virgin coming down in price
when adding Sky Sports to their bundles?

I didn't realize that BT offered Sky sports for such a low price, having just looked at their web-site you get Sky sports 1 and 2, ESPN and Vision sport for just £12.30pm.
I suppose its heavily discounted to make up for their general lack of channels compared to Sky and VM, either way its a very good offer.
