I suppose they have to balance sport acquisitions against subscriber revenues. BSKYB get at least 20.00 per subscriber for their sports channels were as ESPN get 9.00 from Sky subscribers or 12.00 without sky sports and we don't know how much they make off VM per subscriber as this is integrated into XL.
