If Sky Sports thought it could charge more for its channels then it would do so now and not wait another year. I think Sky Sports has maximised its revenue here and is now trying to sell them to other people via Vodafone and Now TV.
I think it's too early to worry about the VM deal with BT Sport, I think we first need to know who wins what in the next Premiership rights auction to see how the various sports channels stack up. I doubt BeIn or EuroSport will be in the running but stranger things have been known to happen!
