Sky's Footballs rights (EPL)
There is to be a press conference at 5pm today to announce who got what in the football rights auction. A lot of rumors of a"twist"or "surprise" in who won what.
Did ESPN go for more than Sky? Did AL Jazeera out bid Sky, if they bid at all? Have Al Jazeera replaced ESPN?
Personally I think most likely result is the Sky/ESPN split everyone expected with no real twist or surprise. Worst case is a 3rd provider as I'm at my limit as to what I will spend on TV/Phone/BB.

Sky's share have gone from -0.22% down to +0.50% up.

Sky's shares now +10.00 (1.46%)
---------- Post added at 15:51 ---------- Previous post was at 15:38 ----------
Sky shares now up 12p 1.75%, we can probably assume they have a good chunk of the EPL rights.

Are you going to take it off when Portugal knock you out on Sunday  .
This group is a bit of a nightmare now isn't it. I'm expecting Germany to take a point tonight, and Portugal (my team!) to knock you guys out on the weekend.

Yup, ESPN have no more EPL and BT starting a new Sports channel probably to stick on Youview if it ever launches. I can see a £2 rise on Skysports. They are now paying £750 million a year in stead of the £540million they were paying.

More significantly BT's package includes 18 of the 38 first-choice picks.
