Quote EHW="EHW"I would have thought that SKY, as a public company, would have to release the figures in their accounts at some point.
You would like to think that there has been a significant amount paid. The competitive TV landscape will change massively in the next 7 years, so to commit to something for that period now is a considerable risk, so there should be a considerable £££ attached to it.'"
Not necessarily, they will have to publish figures like how much spent on securing rights, but it doesn't need to be on a sport by sport basis.
You would of thought so ... But having read the various articles out today the focus very much seems to be leaning towards how many games are shown as opposed how much we will get for those games. I hope "increased coverage" (that will be forgotten about as were scaled back again for competitive poetry and live backgammon in 2 years time) hasn't been the price paid by sky as opposed to £££
