Sky have the rights to around 500 internationals Vince. The Euro 2016 qualifiers are now structured over 4 days per round, with at least 2 kick-off times each day. Helps fill up the TV schedule a bit! http://www1.skysports.com/news/11096/8712153

Just Virgin will need to move some channels numbers to make room for Sky Sports 5.
MB HQ thinks Sky Sports News may move to after Sky Sports F1 on the EPG.
