And on top of that, there is the more recent HBO Sky co-production joint venture that has given us Chernobyl.

Of course, both Sky and HBO have been taken over since the deal was signed but the deal is still very much in place with The Third Day set to start filming soon.

He knows she doesn’t want to stay beyond 9th March with sky premium but tried to trick me with a speed boost and resigning a new contract of 18 months

Has anybody heard of bt sports coming to sky sports for free
The official press release about Sky wholesaling BT Sport just says "For Sky customers, they’ll be able to include BT Sport as part of their overall Sky subscription for the first time." The date mentioned is "early 2019" and we're halfway through the year with no confirmed launch date yet.

There have been rumours that Sky might package BT Sport with some of its other packages but there's been nothing definitive on this. I suspect Sky would have to raise the cost of any package that included BT Sport to cover the extra costs though.
