BT Sport

Eeeeeeee this is interesting for me to read! I think the general analysis is that the deal is worse for Sky than it is good for BT, but the shares today performed thus:

BT +0.5%

Sky -12%

Does anyone here watch the CL?

Depends whose playing and what other stuff is on.....

My point exactly. Not only irrelevant to my life, but dominated by diving and cheating.

Very occasionally, if nowt else is on & I'm too lazy to switch off, I may bother.

I come here to get all my CL updates, in the main thanks to the sterling efforts of Annoyed Grunt (although if he's going to spend a lot more of his time chuckling over images of disabled kids with huge boners I fear I may have to look elsewhere).

i know i read a bit back when sky were digitizing their network, the shareholders played the long game of not recieving a dividend for about 4-5 years or so while that money proper subsidized the boxes (which kicked ON digital in the balls). this caused sky to buy more of itself back than is legal for a floated company , in exchange for giving up those shares's voting rights, in some attempt to sate the share price of the rest of the stock and stop it going too low (the other shareholders agreed to this) i also read since then theyve rejigged/recalbrated the holdings and/or had another whip round so there's more shares out there now.

that sed , bt's at least twice as big and that 'worth more to mine the copper in their network , than the companies worth' rumour - but i cant figure out if thats good or bad. espesh with carbon nanotubes round the corner.

:/

[edit] if ive read it right ,currently theres about 15 million sky shares , and about twice as many bt ones. dunno why BT seems about three times bigger off the other info (net profit and income stuff). so not sure whats what.

I changed from SKY to BT in August. In terms of overall presentation BT are light years behind SKY, but then I'm saving £50+odd a month on what I was previously shelling out.

For a similar package of programming?

Pretty much. I had BT broadband and SKY Tv so dobbed them all into one with BT.
