It will be a premium add-on channel, at similar rates to ESPN.
Wrong, BT made £2.4 BILLION profit the last financial year, that's double Sky's profit and 20 times Virignmedias.

Everyone seem's to think BT are small player who need to include there football on other platforms, they really don't. They have upto 80Mb fibre and now their own EPL football. They are a major player who probably need Sky but do not need Virginmedia.
