international European qualifiers to add to that list. They didn't have a lot on there and filled it with skysports news for x amount of hours.

I suppose the real reason for SS5 is purely commercial to say you get 7 channels as this could of all been done via red button (although I'm sure some people in the know will politely inform that it's probably simpler to add a channel than add red button channels)

BT in my opinion would receive low viewing figures if every platform is forced to pay the additional £5 a month. As I say all guesswork on my behalf.
I'd agree with you muppetman as I think VM XL subscribers are a safe guaranteed income for BT that they need to recoup some of their outlay on footy rights and VM aren't really seen as the main competition.

If the earlier quoted XL subscriber figure of 1.8 million is correct then VM could say to BT we'll give you £1 a month for every XL subscriber for BT Europe which would mean a tidy £1.8m a month for BT.

If the decide to go it alone and ask for a subscription of £5 per month for BT Europe, they'd need 360,000 subscribers on VM to make the same £1.8m.

I think BT have vastly overpaid for the Champions League as I don't believe it's as big of a draw as they think it is. It got plenty of viewers before as it was either free on ITV or included with Sky Sports subs.

To market it as a standalone product is a different kettle of fish and I think they may struggle to recoup their outlay. This is what makes me agree with muppetman as I think BT will play it safe and strike a deal with VM to be included in XL.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)

New BT Sports ESPN Logo if anyone is interested. They were running an advert about it during the Indy car on Saturday night.

Not sure when it changed, but the logos on the mini guide and TV Anywhere app now reflect the new name too, even if the channel name doesn't.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)

When I first saw MB's msg, my initial thought was OMG...they not gonna take BT Sports away and replace it with THIS!! haha...

Let's hope they can thrash out a deal...I have faith we will have BT Europe in time for the Champions League and Europa League qualifiers :-)

For vm i think btsports 1+2 will remain in the XL pack with btsport3 being available for £5p/m extra, btsport3 will have champions league matches,BT sports extra or showcase will be available in all packs for free this will have the fta matches on this is just my thoughts.
sure hope ESPN does as well
