    - 116 live games on Sky
    - 38 live games on BT
    - No games on ESPN

    I'll be cancelling my ESPN subscription next year then. Only have that for the football. Wonder if BT will keep it exclusively on BT Vision or whether they will sell their channels on Sky too. Can see BT vision subscriptions going through the roof now!

    The deal is a combined £3bn!! The previous deal was £1.7bn, so this is a huge increase! Also, BT are paying £6.4m per Premier League match!

    On average, each team will get £150m. As a team nearer the top, we can expect a higher amount than that!! Unbelievable amount of money involved - transfer fees and wages will continue to rise sharply, but can't see ticket prices coming down...

    It does, by the looks of it. I believe BT Vision has Sky Sports, so it looks like BT Vision will be the only place to see every live PL game.

    That's meant to be 116 :laugh: Edited..

    Dagnamit! I was WELL excited for a moment there.

    Yeah, BT has Sky sports as an add-on package thing. I haven't got it though :-(
    So, the question is will these games be on a special "BT sports" and will i get said "BT sports" for free. I have to think the answer is no.
    What will "BT sports" show when the footie isn't on?
    Hmmmm. Interesting. Thanks for the info

    ESPN will lose virtually all of their subscribers now, surely?
    Big blow to them.
