    I can't imagine the Leveson barrister, Robert Jay I think it is, letting Murdoch pull that trick again. Still, it should make for fascinating viewing.

    Interesting from my dad, shamed to say it, a post Wapping Murdoch employee, he's just switched to Virgin because he's heard through the grape-vine Sky could lose their license to operate in the UK, although I suspect Murdoch resigning might've stopped that. But if they did what would happen to sport?

    I heard ESPN and Apple were interested in the sport market over here.

    Bye bye sky, say hi to Ofcom for me.

    Typical Sky, taking the law into their own hands and then try to justify it for "the greater good".

    So now we know know why Murdoch Minor resigned but is anyone surprised? I doubt James leaving will be enough though, eh? :emoticon-0136-giggl

    I wonder if we could get F1 back...

    So highest so far for Sky, but still a way off what it could (and should) be.

    half a million up or so. I guess because it was on at lunch and around football games. No change really for the BBC who I must say really badly edited the highlights. The interviews after and 'moments' with jake and DC kept switching from night to day. and why is Gary never with them? is he contagious?

    What was Sky's estimated viewing figures? Someone posted a PDF months ago of the sales crap to potential advertisers.
