As we've seen with other carriage deals it's possible that BT Sports 1 & 2 will remain in XL with ESPN dropping out. Virgin would then need to agree a new carriage deal for the inclusion of BT Sports 3 or maybe BT would prefer to keep the new channel exclusive to themselves?
The next 2 years will be very interesting. As BT continue to add more and more channels to BT Vision, we might see a service from BT in 2015 that genuinely rivals Virgin Media and SKY. The deal between SKY and HBO expires in 2015. BT Atlantic anyone  |
Its a bit like the pot calling the kettle black if they do that.
No but we will get Sky Atlantic soon enough though.
