If it's a stand alone channel there is no reason to believe it will be different to the online price of £5.99 per month.

Indeed it will need a stand alone price anyway for those who don't have the big packs and want to subscribe.

Hopefully they'll package it in with the big TV packs as well for "free".

The BT deal worked for both Virgin and VM at the time. I believe the deal was £3 per subscriber....but BT Sports were just starting out then and may believe they can command more or go along as a standalone channel only now they have established themselves.

I was gobsmacked at the 4 million+ viewers for the Champions League final...Sky have been around for years with football and don't get that many.. I then remembered a huge chunk of those viewers are us Full House/VIP Virgins getting it "free".

Eleven worth about 75p per month at the moment I'd say. Doesn't sound a lot but multiply that by number of Full House/VIP subscribers and it's probably a lot more than they would get standalone and definitely more than they'll be getting now via their sorry online effort.
