Ha... Meant to add to BT on the end of it!! I assume ITV will still maintain a selection of games, but BT have gained all Champions League and Europa League games.
BT flexing their muscle... Wonder what Sky's next move will be???? |

Here's an extract from the BBC website ;
"BT Sport has announced an exclusive £897m three-year deal which will end two decades of live Champions League football on terrestrial TV.
The broadcaster has won the rights to show all 350 matches each season from 2015 after talks with European governing body Uefa.
A spokesman said it had "shaken up the UK TV market" and would make the final and selected matches free to air.
The news is a major blow to Sky and ITV, who currently share the rights.
It is the first time a single UK broadcaster has won the exclusive live rights to all matches from the two tournaments, BT announced in a statement.
The contract, priced at £299m a season, is worth more than double the current arrangement, which could mean significantly more money for clubs in the two European competitions." |

all this will do is drive up the value of potential rights...
remember the next big one up is rugby's european competition
the only things that interest me on BT sport at the moment is really the ufc and the american sports... but I can watch that ...ahem.... elsewhere at the moment...
but BT's line up is beginning to get more impressive to the point i "may" start giving it a thought....
English Rugby
Moto GP from next year
English, French, German and Italian top league football
FA Cup.....
