I guess Mobes sky held all the cards when it came to negotiations over the red buton,and i am guessing what happened was they said we will give you all the football ie match choice and champions league,and a selection of other sports but it will be up to us which on a take it or leave it basis.
Tennis was definately mentioned in the press release,and cricket was the first sport on red button a west indies pakistan match as far back as last april,then no more cricket on red button until the highlights of the third test match last saturday ie august!.
One thing vm could and should do in my view would be to publish a proper red button list,but when i spoke to the lady from the ceos office she did not seem to know what would be on and when.! so perhaps it is as random as that football apart.
