Sheva. 5,373 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Sheva, was it made through closed bids?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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Hate Scouse 10,326 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 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.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.

Green Lantern18 54 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 How much is the BT channels? I'm not sure about other service providers, but i know that the BT Sport channels are available for free with Virgin Media. http://store.virginmedia.com/digital-tv/channels/bt-sport-espn.html Edit: Iv'e just checked bt.com and it says that it's also free to SKY customers as well. http://sport.bt.com/pages/sport/BT-Sport-on-Sky/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Traveler 256 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Switch to Al Jazeera sport. The best and the biggest sport channel in the world as Richard Keys would say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidator 5,176 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Good.Glad the greedy prick Murdoch isn't getting everything his own way. Nice to see a company rivaling sky at last.Still think BT will be better value for money than sky, people are just so brainwashed by sky convincing them how brilliant they are and so used to seeing sky with no competition.
