CL and the other one on BT Sports

I don't want BT Sport.  

BT have severely overpaid for that. £300 million a year is a lot of money when you can only watch 2 games a week.

Maybe, but it's about more than getting the rights, it's about killing sky.

Thing is...unless someone reduces how much we pay per month..I can't see many more taking on GT sport.

Will Michael Owen be commentating on it with Mark Halsey by his side? If so I think I'll stick to Sky.

Well now that ITV don't have any club football Andy Townsend will have alot of free time. Maybe they will recruit him.

Sounds like sky won't have any cl football though doesn't it? Or have I misread it?

Only BT will air CL and EL games, but some games will be free to air.

So yeah.. Luis doesn't even have the option of "just sticking with Sky"..

Yes it is, but they will kill themselves if they keep overbidding for stuff. See Setanta for example.

Setanta didn't sell broadband. You get BT Sport just by taking one of their broadband packages. Most people have broadband these days so it's just a case of going through the admin of switching.
