So much for those who were predicting BT Sport's demise.

There have been several articles with regard to BT looking to sell the Sports (or a proportion of it)
If you don't renew the rights, then you have less to attract potential buyers.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
I think den is more referring to the end of linear sports channels and BT being “blown out the water” routinely as predicted by others than the well documented search for an investor.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
It's interesting,who would invest? If Virgin was to invest would they want their name (Virgin) to be the name of the channel and if so would BT go with that? BT virgin sport is too much of a mouthful, don't you think? Who remembers Sky is actually BSkyB?

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
I wonder how many people these days remember BSB (British Satellite Broadcasting) and Squarials, or that they merged with Sky Television to become BSkyB (as it was known until recently)?
Geez I feel ancient

How many remember the good old days of two (or three) channels and a white dot after 11pm

Yes, with 'Grandstand' on Saturday afternoons on BBC and 'World of Sport' on ITV!
Back in the day it was just BBC of course, and the only choice if you didn't like the programme was to switch off!

Don't forget the national anthem every night at closure. (Hadn't got as far as figgyburn's post)

In those days the channel of choice for sports fans - none other than BBC.

I remember it as the stampede for the exits.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
A nice nostalgia piece about Setanta Sports in the UK trying to compete with SKY.
https://footballpink.net/setanta-premier-league/
Brought back many memories as a former Virgin TV customer. The removal of Sky basic channels, Virgin agreeing a deal with Setanta, the launch of Setanta Sports News etc... That was nearly 15 years ago now!
