Aye I thought that about bt sport myself. They were emailing virgin media customers about "the only way to watch BT sport is with us... You won't get to see it with VM..." And then wham it appears suddenly. It could have been a last gasp contract signing or it could have been part of the agreement that BT could keep trumpeting being "exclusive" right up until EPL kick off
