Exactly my thoughts.

I'm also surprised by the lack of BT bashing. If SKY had snapped up these exclusive rights they'd be getting torn to shreds today.

I'm all for a shake up in the market but all I'm seeing is more and more sport disappearing behind a pay-wall.

Until people stop subscribing to the likes of SKY Sports and BT Sports this trend will forever continue.

Rightly or wrongly I preferred when pretty much everything was on SKY Sports. 1 subscription to access everything I wanted. Now I've got to pay for SKY Sports, BT Sports and Boxnation to access what I was able to watch as little as 8 years ago.
