I get it as £1.04
75,000,000 / 36 / 2,000,000 = £1.04.

So we can expect it facilitated as a price rise then.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
What were they paying ESPN? Similar wasn't it? In other words the cost of the rights have sky rocketed, and Virgin have managed to keep them for the same cost?

It appears so, must be good at negotiations.

It's £75m per year so it's £6.25m per month Virgin are paying. I've read that there are 3m TV XL customers so that would be £2 each per customer (or £3 each if it's actually 2m customers).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
Think the price is about £3.10. 75,000.000 / 12 / 2,000,000 = £3.125.

If it wasn't on XL and only available as a stand alone sub, BT would have needed to get 500,000 HD subscribers every year, taking the channels for the full 12 months, in order to match what they are getting in this deal.
I would expect BT to be happy with this deal.

"Virgin could be in trouble here.....and that's a fantastic goal-line clearance! And Virgin Media are on the break! Its 4 vs 3! BT Sport 2 is onside! and has been found with a killer pass! Virgin could win this here, there's players queuing up to convert a cross, will it come? It does..... BT SPORT 1HHHDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!"
Git in here! Virgin Media Crowd goes wild! BT Sport runs into the crowd to celebrate!
"Virgin have snatched victory, from the jaws of Pay-TV defeat! .....they think its all over......it is now!!! What a result!"
