You seriously think one of Sky's call centre staff know whether Sky are bidding or not.

Who knows?

He could have received that information via his superiors

Workers in a call centre even higher ranking ones will be as much in the dark as we are , to be clear anything can happen history tells us that but with the exception of those involved in the process we are all just guessing.

Apparently we have a couple of euro 2020 qualifiers on the red button today. But then i click the red button all i get is the generic "no red button games available".

Is it working for anyone?

The 2018-2021 contract is worth 394 million pounds per year, or just over $500 million. The new deal is not worth less than 1.2 billion pounds ($1.55 billion).

No significant price increase which is good for us consumers.

Well that remains to be seen as BT will still want to recover their outlay and its usually the consumer that meets it.
