I would say it's offical enough being as it's on Espn's website!
I cant see that Chad. I can see Sky having BT Sports HD but i cant see Sky giving BT Sky Sports 1-4 HD

Re: BT Group buys ESPN Channels
BT Sports will end up on Sky that's defo however in my opinion it will be at an additional cost like ESPN currently , however I think the monthly charge will be higher , holding back HD won't happen either otherwise people simply won't subscribe its that simple.

Re: BT Group buys ESPN Channels
It will be on sky of that there is no doubt but as to what the cost will be only time will tell. I personally think it will be about the same as ESPN is now,maybe a couple of pounds more. Hopefully it will all be revealed sooner rather than later.

BT has paid a fortune for their football rights , quite honestly I wouldn't have an issue whatever they decided to do with them , no HD I simply wouldn't subscribe end of story.

Re: BT Group buys ESPN Channels
One proposal BT are considering is a charge of £12.50 for their sports channels with an extra £3 to get them in hd on sky. Plus a connection fee of £16. However if you switch to BT broadband you get it free! This is just a working proposal though and nothing is settled. For me I wouldn`t pay that price,I`l do without.

I was invited to complete a on line survey about it and that was amongst the proposals.

Well if that's the price it ends up it will be an extremely hard sell with Sky customers I would expect , personally I wouldn't entertain over ESPN's current £10.00 so they'll gain nothing from me.
