Sky Sports not available on BT YouView for football season start
Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports 2 will not be available on BT's YouView platform for the start of the 2013/14 football season. Ofcom is currently investigating the wholesaling pricing of the channels in the dispute between Sky and BT, but refused to put into place interim measures to give BT access to the channels.
BT had appealed to the regulator in May, arguing that the price being charged by Sky was an abuse of its market dominance. Ofcom will make a decision on the matter later this year. "We expect this initial analysis to inform consideration of whether and how to proceed further with the investigation, during autumn/winter 2013," it said in a note.
Sky Sports 1 and 2 will continue to be available via TalkTalk's YouView boxes, and also for BT Vision customers. Sky won a previous Ofcom ruling last month when the regulator decided that Sky Sports did not have to carry adverts for BT Sport.
