BT, the newcomer, said it would take a £100m hit in profits when the new deal kicks in during the 2013–14 season – but with the company generating telephone-number cash returns of about £2.5bn a year, it can easily pay its way.

There is no doubt that the risks for BT are greater. The company will have to sign up presenters, chase customers, and set up a channel. BT promises its service will be available on Freeview, Virgin and Sky, and although no pricing has been outlined, costs are likely to start at about £10 a month – with fans having to fork out for both.
