Yeah for fear of being a broken record. The deal is because they
think there are marketing and TV rights opportunities. That is
it. That's their only interest, in exploiting those areas for
maximum revenue then cashing out at the peak of the market.
This is why only corrupt dictatorships can now afford to host F1
races and why the global audience for F1 has fallen by more than
100m viewers.

So the only difference with modern pro rugby is... midweek
games?

I’m trying to reinforce what you are saying Blucherquin, and
agree with all of the points you are making. There will always
be those who will disagree and that’s one of the great things
about living in a democracy.

BT were far too greedy. They should have collected more market
share before raising their prices. I got BT sport when it first
came out, with sky sports, and it was 21 quid a month. Now it's
more like 50, without sky.

It just didn’t work. They went in hard thinking that by offering
lots of sport for not much money you’d get millions of new
triple or quad play customers taking all your services.
They didn’t.
So they’ve got to now make the money back by charging everyone
much more.

Price elasticity graphs are funny things - especially for non

I chose to have BT Broadband because it is the highest speed
where I am and got BT Sport free of charge. I currently also
have Sky Sort & Entertainment for £40 per month. When the 18
month contract expires I will threaten to leave to get it
reduced to just Sports because, frankly, the "Entertainment" is
pants.
I think we now pay £5 a month for BT Sports because we
renewed/threatened to leave our BT Broadband contract.
We feel this is a reasonable state of affairs.
It would be nice if FTA channels looked at broadcasting The
Rugby Championship and The European Challenge Cup.

Unfortunately it is down to rights.
I assume the rights to Challenge games go with the Champions Cup
- but as only BT are showing them, they can fill the schedule
without needing to show those. Maybe when they get to the knock
out they will show both.
The rights to Championship games were included with the
Premeriership deal. The matches Sky showed never set the rating
alight. So if they were available seperately, would there be a
big enough audience to make it worth the filming costs.
