They will acquire the BT rights - particularly Premier League, Champions League and Premiership Rugby.
I seem to recall that Sky have to agree any sale of BT sports rights - anyone confirm this and have sky agreed?

Indeed, if there were any doubt that the prophecies of the imminent demise of linear television were incorrect, this surely puts it to bed.
Far from being easy to pick off rights as values fall and have customers swarm across it now appears to be challenging to the extent it is worth buying one of the incumbents, their customer base and fundamentally in the short to medium term their viable business model.
