Maybe at the start but they are always able to refer the matter to the Competition Commission?

Yes they are if you read the working papers and their initial findings on the pay tv movies, you may get a idea of them?

It isn't as odd as Sky Sports News sometimes telling you when games are on ESPN but I tend to agree that Sky and ESPN appear to be on very good terms.

I believe they are genuine competitors but with ESPN being very much the junior (in the UK at least) but they do seem to get on well. At least for now!

Yes Disney is officialy a bigger corporation than News Corp , however I feel as the UK is not ESPN's main market they will be happy with 2 of the 6 prem league packages.
