BT currently offers BT Sport free to VM XL customers or free to any customer taking its BB offering on either BT TV or the Sky Satellite platform
Can you realistically see no additional cost once the champions league contract kicks in ? I'm sure BT will look to increase revenue across all its viewers , I'm sure agreements will be reached but in my opinion people will be paying more.

understand all this and agree with most but playing devils advocate for one moment...lets remember its not as if BT are getting nothing from VM. isnt it like 4 quid for every person on XL goes to BT? Which admittedly is weak and low but they are getting a return currently.
The champions league kicks in next year maybe BT would see the advantage of running the VM contract down for one more year showcasing all their "unmissable sport" to entice VM customers to subscribe from the year after??
