No. BT say they will create an entirely new sports channel to host their live football and rugby coverage. This will be available, at a price, to existing customers, plus those who have Sky or Virgin. It is expected to be an equivalent cost to a Sky Sports package — which is around £21 a month."

It all depends on whether you believe the Daily Mail are a credible source.

£21.00 would be outrageous. At least for £21.00 on SKY you get SKY Sports 1, SKY Sports 2, SKY Sports 3, SKY Sports 4, SKY F1 and SKY Sports News.

ESPN has been free on XL from launch. M+ and L customers can get ESPN for £8 per month as standard, or as little at £6 per month if they have the SKY Sports collection. I can't see any Virgin or SKY customer happily paying £21.00 per month for a repackaged version of ESPN.

l cannot see it being that price as it would be total suicide on the part of BT as the only customers they will ever have if that ever was the case would be their own customers who of course they would subsidise.
