Rumours are rife that BT have bought a stake in the channel and will offer the channel as part of their sports package from this summer. Simon Green the head of BT Sport is still a non-exec Director at BoxNation. The Independant ran a story 8 weeks ago which suggested BT had an interest in the channel.

Nothing confirmed yet however if BT have agreed a deal and include the channel as part of their sports package along with BT Sports 1, BT Sports 2 and ESPN America that will surely make them a really big player in the sports TV market.

Of course it's just rumours for now.
I agree 100% Chad , it gives Sky Sports something to think about and keeps them on their toes.
