| According to more recent reports, Sky's subscriber base has reached it's upper limit of 10.5 million (5 million HD customers) and any future increased profitability needs to be based upon a strategy of flogging extra services to existing customers like HD packages, phone line and broadband.
Sky do not divulge information with regard to how many of those 10.5 million current customers subscribe to Sky Sports packages but it's a reasonable guess that if their subscriber base has reached it's upper limit, it's unlikely that Sky Sports subscription packages have nosedived in the opposite direction. My guess is that it's movies which tend to get dropped first when people are feeling the pinch (after all, sport is the new opium of the people these days), which may explain the bombardment of offers available for Movie packages.

| Has Premier Sports had any effect on these figures - showing 8 NRL games per week?
I would imagine subscriber numbers are relatively low but I cancelled Sky Sports in favour of Premier a couple of years ago and know quite a few other that did the same.
I guess people get fed up of paying their subscription fees to essentially fund football and an extra euro football channel

I also cancelled Sky in favour of Premier Sports. Is William Eve a RL fan? I only ask, because he seems to enjoy ragging the game.
To be fair there is plenty of choice

My household is one of these, and I know many others who no longer subscribe - there are many reasons why attendance/viewing figures are down, we all have different lives/lifestyles'"
Do we even know how the viewing figures are collected and collated? By that I mean is there a difference between you or I sitting at home watching any game just because we are RL fans, there's nowt else on and we are in charge of the remote and someone gathering a group of friends and saying let's not bother with the M62 on a work night, I don't fancy watching on my jack let's all go down to the pub/social club to watch a big draw game?

| Sky's viewing figures are down right across the board, not just RL. So it's something they need to look at themselves.

Can you provide evidence to back up that across-the-board assertion of yours?
I'd be genuinely interested to see data which provides proof of that.

The sad fact is, you actually would be interested!
I was wondering, do you have stats on how the percentage of one-legged Serbo-Croats called Ivan that own a ginger cat and work as a car park attendant, who view Boots n'All while eating a kebab has varied over the last decade?

Knock yerself out!
Though I should have thought with the massive proloferation of channels, it would be obvious that each individual channel will get a smaller percentage of the total without someone demanding proof, lmao! bSkyb themselves have gone from what 4 or 5 channels to over a dozen.

You're out of your depth here AA.
I'd stick to discovering bundles of mail dumped by posties if I were you.

How is a BARB link to a multi-channel viewing summary circa 98 to 09 supposed to consist of evidence proving your earlier assertion?
Either you have evidence or you don't.
Well?

I'm sure we played wire on a Friday night this year at the HJ and that wasn't on Sky.

实事求是!: |

| Has there been an investigation into allegations that william eve (serial stat miscreant) has been stat fixing BARB figures? Is the inquest still ongoing?
Whoever has him on twitter should give him loads of abuse until the matter has been resolved.

| Perhaps there is also a consideration that more people now watch the games through a means other than those officially recorded by BARB / Sky ....??

| Doubt he'll understand it, if he's not smart enough to figure, that going from 1 Channel, to 2, to 3, to 5, to 12, to 38, to 86 to over 150 channels is gonna make viewing figures per channel drop then he'll not appreciate any sarcasm nor understand any abuse, lmfao!
And as for not being able to figure out how to navigate BARB's particularly user-friendly site to get more up to date stats as per my "knock yerself out" invite, well.....that just beggars belief, rlmao!!!!!
