Quote: BuckleyStreetWire "I've said before, Sky have put all of their energy, time and broadcasting money into Formula 1 and have put all their profits into Premier League football clubs.
F1 has it's own channel and they follow the races around the world all season with what must be a gigantic army of people and nal of technology they take with them from wherever they go. It cost them £455m for the live rights for F1, never mind all the money they must spend on the broadcasting of it with all the people they employ and the technology they use. Then Sky dish out £81m to each Prem footy club each season.
What we're left with is the likes of Dwight York and Niall Quinn giving utterly zero insight into the game of football. They've lost the Champions League, they don't show all La Liga games 'as live' like they used to (Barca v Atleti a few weeks ago wasn't the live broadcast and last season viewers had to sit through the first 15minutes of El Clasico with Guillem Balague giving us updates in the studio because Sky didn't pay for the rights to show the whole game live). They're losing rugby union by the year, they've lost the NBA, they sacked off rugby league NRL/State of Origin/Championship/Boots'n'All/Super League Superstars/the one hour All The Tries prog which is now just half an hour...and just offer up two or three live games a week with no other programming of our sport and other sports fans, even football, don't get what they used to for their Sky subscription.
Sky have are losing the plot with their sports programming. Every sport is being thinned out and trimmed down to accommodate the huge money going into F1 broadcasting and Prem football clubs(not broadcasting).'"
Whats up, don't you want to be watching the National Kabbadi league, or the womens netball classic from Sunderland YMCA sports hall?
