Re: ESPN may lose EPL Football

If Virgin did set up a sports channel, i bet Sky customers would still get it in HD 12 months before us.

Just because they don't like each other still does'nt rule out the chance that they can still do a deal.

Re: ESPN in XL tv pack post 2012?

BT Vision as it stand right now is the only place you can definately see all EPL games from 2013-2016.There will be a deal BT will need to resell there 2 packs.

Total revenue raised £3billion so expect your skysports sub to rise. Possibility of ESPN leaving UK. I can see Sky and BT offering each other good deals possibly BT getting Sky sports 3/4hd

Its the end of ESPN in my mind as there is no way Sky customers are going to pay £9 a month now.
