But I don't think we know how much and when VM's prices for Sky Sports will rise until VM says so.
They will probably announce it just as they are giving us one of those new-fangled Billy nobody channels which will be heralded of course as some new big thing for us customers.

I'm sure most VM customers would prefer a one-off Irish election special than Mad Men or Game of Thrones on their screens.
My point though is that the £3.50pm rise on 1/6 is for Sky customers; customers on VM will have to wait for VM's advices.

Bye bye Sky completely for me with those increases and I won't be looking at VM either because they are just as expensive. Let the mugs out there pay those increases.

Not according to The Mirror , they say Sky Sports will rise by £2 or if you take both Sports and Movies the increase will be £1.50.

Indeed, well found and for the avoidance of any doubt, these are increases for Sky's direct customers. Increases to VM customers have not been announced.

Any increase on Virgin will surely be more as don`t Virgin like to have a share of all increases? and then blame the increase on Sky!

We don't know how much VM is charged extra by Sky so we can't assume that VM adds a bit more on, whatever else we may think of them.

Sky Sports has extended its partnership with Formula 1 to remain the home of F1 in the UK and Ireland until 2024.

As part of the new deal, Sky has agreed a new broadcast partnership with Formula One Management, strengthening its position as the home of sport offering unrivalled choice for fans.

Sky Sports' new partnership with Formula 1:

Exclusive: Sky Sports will be the home of Formula 1 in the UK and Ireland from 2019 to 2024, offering live coverage of every Grand Prix.

Free to air: The FORMULA 1 BRITISH GRAND PRIX, together with highlights of all other races and qualifying sessions, will be shown on a 'free-to-air' basis.

Sky Sports Mix: Additionally, at least two other 'prime time' live races a season will be offered on the soon-to-be-launched Sky Sports Mix channel along with other F1 content.

UHD: For the first time every race starting with the 2017 championship will be shown in the stunning picture quality of Ultra High Definition via Sky Q, the next-generation home entertainment system.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

Remember when it was announced on here that sky sports couldn't have all the football coverage to make it fairer for the viewers.

Since then prices have gone up by Sky by 9 quid and we now have to pay for BT Sports

Cheers ofcom! Good work lads!

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

Just fecking great another sport I follow now becomes a Sky exclusive. Shame as CH4's coverage looked pretty good. From 2019 I'll have to start developing an interest in something else.

Hope the Murdock **** choke on it. They still won't get a penny off me.
