Sky Tv and BT Sports

KennyH1

I have just read that Sky are trying to get rights to the BT sports channel.

Has anyone else heard anything about this as i'm thinking of changing my broadband / phone from sky to BT to get their sports pack but if I can get it though sky it may change my mind.

The matter will be decided by Ofcom -

And I doubt Sky will get the channels.

According the the BT site you can get BT Sport added to your Sky package for £12 a month?

Yes, thats right. Through BT. But Sky want to retail the channels themselves.

I suspect they will be giving you BT Sport 1+2 and not Sky Sports 1+2
