Premplus to be scrapped?

Have I heard correct that Premplus is going to be scrapped for next season?

Aren't the matches previously shown on Prem Plus going to be shown on Setanta Sport from next season?

Re: Premplus to be scrapped?

Basically, there are packages that can be bought.

# Package A: 23 matches shown at 1600 on Sunday
# Package B: 23 matches shown at 1330 on Sunday
# Package C: a minimum of 12 matches at 2000 on Monday, the rest either at 1330 on Sunday or 1715 on Saturday or other times
# Package D: a minimum of 18 matches at 1715 on Saturday, the rest either at 1330 on Sunday, 2000 on Monday or other times
# Package E: 23 matches shown at 1245 on Saturday
# Package F: seven to 13 matches on midweek evenings/bank holidays, 10 to 16 at 1245 on Saturday and 1600 on Sunday.

I believe that Sky owned all of these, however one or two of the packages (namely the 1245 Saturday ones) were allowed onto PremPlus (or maybe they werent allowed, and Sky wanted to con more money out of us; the Football Subscriber.)

Now, Setanta have Two of them, and Sky have the other five. And the two that Setanta got basically eliminate the need for PremPlus, as subscribers will already be paying a PPV subscription to Setanta.

Re: Premplus to be scrapped?

Thanks to the EU people who want to see all the games are going to be £100 worse off than last season.

Apparently Sky's Monopoly wasn't good for consumers. I don't see how having to pay an extra £100 a season makes this better for consumers.
