Theres alot I can blame Virgin, but I really dont think this was one of them.
Premier Sports demise is down to emergence of BT Sports and their power to do business deals.
I see Premier sports operating in same area as Eurosport picking up the niche items that the major ones are not totally interested in and although Eurosport is in XL premier sport does not have enough "mainstream" content to warrant inclusion (queue angry fans of NRL, NHL etc I apologise but thats how I see it). Its life could depend on its ability to hold on to these niche sports but their future is in the balance if BT continue to chip away at these rights.
