I can now reveal that the announcement I was on about on Monday was the BT Sports announcement.

But I was told 'not to post' this announcement until 3.20pm today.

They was not confirmed then.

-BT was confirmed to me last weekend.
-Sky Atlantic has not been confirmed from any insiders that I know of yet. But Broadcastnow reported weeks ago that Virgin and Sky are in talks over the channel.

Thanks MB, do you know if It's all of the channels, i.e. BT sports 1 & 2 and ESPN and the HD versions, would hate to be stuck with just SD like SS3, 4 and F1

No channel info was given - need to wait for info coming via Virgin for that.

Why 3:20pm?

Is it bad luck to announce anything before 3:20pm...is 3:19 soooo old fashioned.

Why not not before 4pm?..or 3pm?

The ban on posting that info was only lifted at 3.20pm today by my insider who told me last weekend.

I needed the goahead to post from them.
