With Sky the top in broadcaster, then followed by by VM, then you have BT that does not have enough subs etc. It cannot rely on other broadcasters there isn't any.

I think that VM will do a deal BUT, it will be costly - l wont pay more than a fiver extra, you are ONLY getting TWO BT sports channels, the other other one is ESPN which we already have free.
I don't believe that BT are aiming to recoup their outlay-I think they spent so much it simply won't be possible in this rights cycle.I'm not confident that the BT Sport channels will arrive on Virgin,I think BT are going to focus on building up a solid sports broadcasting brand ahead of preparing to go toe to toe with Sky the next time the rights are up for auction.
