That way, Sports fans get a Premium addition and so do non sports fans. Going on retail pricing (as a rough guide), sports fans still are the biggest gainers, as BT sport is £15p/m and Netflix is £6p/m. And as Netflix appeals to both sports fans and non sports fans, but PS only appeals to sports fans, Netflix has a wider appeal than PS
Free Netflix would be a great USP; much greater in my view than free Premier Sports, and both sports and non sports fans would feel that they have been treated equally.

I love my sports, but like howardmicks I too agree.
