Perhaps it's an advert for a forthcoming change that has been shown too early

I thought that the BBC had to get the permission of the BBC Trust to launch new channels ie on the EPG's and that the workaround was to put the streams behind an actual red button!

Premier Sports decided not to join the VM platform because they were only offered carriage on a standalone basis, when in fact, they wanted to be part of the XL package in the same way as ESPN.
As people will no doubt have to pay extra for BT Sport, using the "ESPN money" to fund adding Premier Sports to XL seems a fair solution to me.
