Will BT do the same trick as Sky and say as this channel wasn't in the wholesale agreement then VM doesn't get it free for a year?
Look to me like BT will broadcast three games on TV

-BT Sport 1 (PTV)
-BT Sport 2 (PTV)
-BT Sport Extra 1 (FTV - also on Freeview)

DS Forum is reporting that BT are also testing 8 Red Button channels on Sky right now.

Another slot is available nationwide from January 2015 through to 2018/19. However, the slot (but not the channel number) will be shared by another broadcaster between 6pm and 11pm for two weeknights every other week.
