[QUOTE="Salty25, post: 177145, member: 185281"] Firstly, look at the packages: Package A: 23 first-choice picks, kick-off 4pm, Sunday. Package B: 23 second-choice picks, kick-off 1.30pm, Sunday. Package C: 23 third-choice picks, kick-off at 8pm Monday. Package D: eight second-choice games and 15 fourth-choice games, kick-off 5.15pm, Saturday. Package E: five first-choice, nine third-choice and nine fourth-choice games, kick-off 12.45pm, Saturday. Package F: 10 first-choice, seven second-choice and six third-choice games to be played midweek, bank holidays, Sunday at 4pm and Saturday 12.45pm. A and B were blatently designed for Sky for Super Sunday!!! However, Monday Night Football, C, doesnt look sooo attractive - third choice games. D and E are basically what PremPlus is now. F is VERY interesting. I think the Premier League have set-up A and B especially for Sky, no doubt about it. However, with regard to the rest, what are Sky's priorities, first-choice games or viewing times? Also, will Sky go in in like a bull in a China Shop, buy everyone outright, then drop C or D, or will they only bid for A, B, E, and F, pay less, reduce sub prices, and hope an increased number of subbers off-sets the price reduction? I've thought up to know that BBC and ITV/NTL would battle it out, but the BBC have been told they can't blow their money on footie, and NTL won PremPlus last time, then dropped it. So FIVE, with money from owners RTL, could be a major bidder. There's even been talk of Channel 4 being interested in Saturday games, given that they appointed former BBC Sport chief as their new head of sport recently. [/QUOTE]
