We don't know yet and may never know. The only insight I've heard since the rights were awarded is that BT and Sky got one package each in the first round per Claire Enders of Enders Analysis. See her interesting interview here.
Advertising-funded games shown on the likes of ITV and Eurosport were ruled out as advertising does not even nearly cover the costs of multi-million £ games. This left the wild card of state-backed beIN but even this company has its limits.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
Look on the online Sky Guide can't see why you'd bother though considering you have VM and the channel numbers are completely different.

I wouldn't read too much into the rumour about online only Sky Movie channels , I can't see anything like that happening for a while.

Well their hope is that by doing this customers won't notice any price rises but in 2015 the customer is getting increasingly price savvy and will shop round if the price rises are not to their liking and for some it won't be to their liking but how many remains open to question.

Your kidding here right ?
I wouldn't call a £3 increase on the family bundle slowly but surely.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
l am of the opinion of those who want sports and premium channels should have to fork out for them but increasingly whether someone is a Sky or Virgin customer it seems everybody is paying for Sky's huge expenditure on sports/movies content.

With Openreach charging telecoms companies about £8pm for line rental and the likes of Sky charging £15pm-£16pm for line rental, everyone is paying for sports even if they don't have pay TV.

Fair point, it's a very hefty wedge. My point is more that Sky Sports hasn't suddenly shot up by £6pm and the costs have been distributed across other products.
