Apparently:
- Cricket and golf will have their own dedicated channels in the same way as F1.
- Football to have two channels; one for Premier League and another for everything else.
- A cheaper sports package of about £18 per month to be introduced.
- At The Races to go HD and then be rebranded as Sky Sports Racing.
- Rugby will be bundled with other sports in a variety package.
- European club rugby rights expire in May 2018. It is not expected that Sky will retain them thereafter.
I heard this some time ago from a contact, but dismissed them as unfounded rumours, however, some of these 'rumours' have now appeared in the Daily Mail:
Sky’s golf coverage is driving rugby into the rough | Daily Mail Online[/quote]
Also, it's been revealed that Sky have been running confidential surveys mooting these changes to see what customers think of them.
Could this mean the closure of Sky Sports Mix?
