Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Please prove me wrong.
Today my wife spoke with VM over this. And they say IT WONT HAPPEN, as they will lose too many customers.
I am under this impression. At the moment VM have 'added' Sky Sports Package, and we pay - say 25 quid.
Are we saying that, they are putting up the price again. And it doesn't make sense. We already pay for extra SPORTS CHANNELS or is it VM saying that they will charge us for BT Sports. But claim it charging separate Sky channels.
I know there is Sky Sports Extra. But we had that before.
Someone PLEASE EXPLAIN

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
No its that you can no longer take just Sky Sports 1 or 2 as you can choose now but will only be able to take the full Sky Sprts collection.
However it is going up by £2 but that is Sky price rise as their customers will also get the hike.

Currently you can take Sky Sports 1, home of Sky’s Premier League football coverage, or Sky Sports 2 for £21.50/month extra. This is cheaper than going for the Sky Sports Collection - which gives you Sky Sports 1-5 plus Sky Sports F1 and Sky Sports News HQ - for £29.25/month.
As we reported last month, the standard price of the Sky Sports Collection on Virgin Media will be going up to £31.75/month in June.
Sky TV customers will similarly be paying £2.50 more for their Sky Sports bundles every month from June 1 onwards.

So nearly £22 for just one SS channel or £32 for all of them. Which of course is much better value.

It's only better value if you watch the extra channels.
I don't think it's being applied to those who currently just take Sky Sports 1 & 2 is it? It's just not being permitted to add those channels in the future. So existing Sky Sports 1/2 customers should not be impacted.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
See TV Sports Markets twitter (and scroll down) - numerous announcements from Eurosport today.
- Will spend $5bn on sports rights over 10 years (presumably that's across Europe; not just UK)
- Channel TV is profitable and growing
- Will target direct subscribers (ie not just being part of basic packs)
- 200k direct subs currently; "on march to 1 million" (presumably across Europe)
- Has acquired Wimbledon highlights in UK
- Has acquired worldwide rights to French rugby (must exclude 6N in UK; position re Sky rights unclear - has Sky handed back?)
- Various other rights acquisitions in different European countries
Added to the acquisition of Olympic rights, taking the Australian Open exclusively live in UK and recent rights deals for European Athletics and with World Snooker this is a further pointer that Eurosport is aiming for significant growth - both in the UK and across Europe.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Yes l am not surprised at unhappy customers because as a brand in my opinion they have had it as they reputation has been totally ruined since that hacking scandal and once its gone its extremely hard to get it back.

They obviously could not run a **** up in a brewery in my opinion.

Or indeed, a nosh up in a chip shop. Clearly they have problems, but slicing into the attractions of your product are not the way to do it.
I think they should have addressed the problems, reassured their existing and future customers that the problems were behind them (with an independent assessment) and then start thinking about re-branding.
Alternatively, a merger with or a sale to a more respected organisation might have been better.
The way they are going about this it will end up with the company folding.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Or maybe the channels aren't really viewed that much and they are trying to keep their low cost offering as competitive as possible.

I think is probably the correct analysis. TalkTalk's share price has now recovered somewhat from its low of 184p and it's experienced its lowest quarter of churn.
I think if any company was going to pounce on TalkTalk, I would expect it to be Free of France which is a value operator like TalkTalk. However, I would have expected it to have done so before now.
