One things that I can't understand is why Premier Sports, who have been up and running for about 16 months now, haven't bothered to set-up an on-line subscription service. You'd think it would be beneficial to them to allow non-SKY customers the chance to watch their channel, even though it'll be via an on-line stream. I'm sure fans of NHL, NASCAR and their other sports would consider paying £5.00 per month for an on-line version of the channel.

In fact when I think about it, it's concerning that they don't have an on-line model. Maybe Premier Sports aren't in it for the long haul and are just having a punt like Setanta Sports. Virgin might not be interested in carrying the channel as they've sniffed it out as a tin pot channel.
