Re: Sky Sports F1 subscription change

I know not everyone will agree however I'd like SKY to restructure their Sports content into 5 stand alone specialised channels. For example:

SKY Football - £14.00 per month (Nothing but football on this channel)
SKY Combat - £8.00 per month (Nothing but boxing, WWE, UFC if they buy the rights)
SKY Motor - £8.00 per month (F1, Speedway, Indie Racing League etc...)
SKY British - £8.00 per month (Cricket, Rugby, Golf and Tennis)
SKY Sports Mix - £8.00 per month (Cycling, Darts, NBA etc...)
A red button facility will also be available for each channel showing niche sports like table tennis, fishomania etc...

Okay so I know the channel names suck, and the packages would need some fine tuning, however this would allow people to subscribe to a specific sport they enjoy plus get some extra content on the channel too. If you take all of the channels then it'll cost you the same as SKY Sports currently does.
