So Sky are charging about 20 quid wholesale for sports and movies, this is still too much (especially when we dont over half of the football)
ntl need to be ble to make a mark up of some kind to make it worthwhile evn having the channels.
The majority arent really bothered about the channels, most of the worthwhile paid channels are in both family pack, it generally free special interest channels which you can get free anyway that are extra (except in a few cases) The major channels are on both.

Please post the links where you obtained those figures from. I doubt that Sky have ever published any such detail.
It is rather presumptious to say what people want to watch and what they aren't bothered about. I would imagine that NTL have cutomers for the God channel (otherwise why carry it) which costs £6 extra on NTL but is free on Sky.
