A UK court has ruled that pay TV broadcaster BSkyB must make its Sky Sports 1 and 2 channels available on rival BT's YouView service.
BT has been challenging BSkyB's dominance of sports broadcasting, and last year complained to the regulator, Ofcom, about airing the channels.
Ofcom first said the channels should be available to other pay TV providers four years ago.
The ruling served the interests of consumers and competition, Ofcom said.
The judgement from the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) is an interim ruling. There will be a further ruling in due course when more evidence has been assessed, but it is thought unlikely that Wednesday's decision will be undone.
4 years..how much longer can they drag this out?
