I think it's ITV not Sky Sports that are losing the rights.

^ Which sucks because it means streams are the only option now, for us who haven't got Sky or BT.

It will be weird not having a Champions league final on TV in the UK, dark days.

ITV and Sky are losing the rights.

BT did say there will be "free-to-air" games involving British sides, and the finals of both competitions.

I think that's how UEFA do it.

SKY released a statement saying BT sport paid "far in excess" of their valuation of the rights.

[NishC300 1,865]

BT Sport had to make some matches free to air because of the UCL sponsors.

I recall Sky saying something similar after BT got a load of Premier League games. £900+ million profit says different.

Virgin Media and BT destroying the Sky dictatorship. Fuck off Murdoch.
