ESPN launch new channel

People will either sign-up with ESPN or not, but I wouldn't lump them in with Setanta, which was almost literally a here today, gone tomorrow outfit or ITV who clearly didn't think it through. ESPN has been around for 30 years & will doubtless continue to thrive, with or without its Premier League coverage.

I only saw the headline (front-page of one of the tabloids), which appeared to suggest that SKY may be forced to reduce their football subscription charges by 30 - 40%. Good news for those who have it, if that's true. I did have SKY Sports for around 13 years, but eventually ditched it & don't miss it now either. Not having to listen to 'hairy hands' Keys & gobby gobshite Grey banging on, is quite a blessing.

Sky will take legal action against Ofcom to try and stop those busybodies forcing this price reduction through. But if it does go through that will reduce the value of the football rights, so less money for the Premier League.

Which will mean them putting up ticket prices
