I mean, Price of a pint, £2.50. Punters, 80, lets say. 2 Pints per head. £400. 4 Weekends in a Month, £1,600. Sky request £2,585 for the Full Sky Pack, including Setanta Sports.

For an extra £5, you can upgrade to Sky HD.

So, £1,000 profit a month from one establishment to provide them with Sports and Entertainment? And thats satisfactory?
Its supply and demand. Sky can only get away with it as some places are willing to pay their prices. Its a big business, so thats why Sky Pub sports channels get their own onscreen pint glass graphic so simple checks can be done anonymously by someone popping in for a pint.
