Sky told it doesn’t have to give BT a discount on Sky Sports
BT Sport is no longer the David to Sky Sports’ Goliath. When it launched in August 2013, the underdog TV service weighed heavily on less popular football leagues such as Serie A in Italy and Ligue 1 in France. But BT has slowly expanded, spending large amounts for the Champions League, the Europa League and a highly sought-after batch of Premier League fixtures. That’s triggered Ofcom to re-evaluate what’s known as a “wholesale must-offer” between Sky and BT. Its final decision, announced today, means that Sky is no longer forced to offer its flagship sports channels, Sky Sports 1 and 2, at a discount to BT.
