It could do, although I'm not holding my breath. There was a suggestion in last Tuesday's Daily Telegraph that there could be a different approach by Fox towards SA, to increase its availability.

However, this could simply mean extending access across Europe rather than access by other UK platforms.

I also read that by extending its global reach, Fox could seek to bag the football premiership market. However, are there not rules that prevent one company from picking up all the rights?

BT loses competition appeal against Ofcom over Sky pay-tv
21/12/2016
The CAT unanimously rejected BT’s arguments and issued a withering assessment of the telecoms company’s points.
The judgement stated that “it is important to remember that regulation is not a “one-way street”, and it is not only failure to intervene that can be problematic”.

Judgment : http://www.catribunal.org.uk/files/1...ent_211216.pdf

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

There isn't actually an HD version of Boxnation - Boxnation HD carries one or two fights a week only and is not a fulltime channel.

Court told that the number of TalkTalk customers paying a regular monthly subscription for TV channels could be as low as 125,000.

So BT's John Petter basically has no idea and is playing a guessing game.
