No doubt heading to the same place as wages, agents fees, transfer fees etc.
Makes you wonder where the tipping point is though?
Also, can BT make money (directly or otherwise) out of just 38 games?

How can one get it? "BT Vision is a "hybrid" Digital Terrestrial Television and IPTV service; it delivers TV channels on the DVB-T digital terrestrial platform (using a Freeview decoder) and on-demand content through a hybrid DTT/IP/PVR set-top box, known as the Vision+.[2] BT requires customers to sign up to the BT Broadband internet and phone service in order to use BT Vision, with connection via BT's official router, BT Home Hub." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BT_Vision

This splitting of the rights into packages to 'avoid a monopoly' and 'help the consumer have choice' as all absolute b  ks anyway. If you want to watch all the games you need to fork out twice for both platforms. FFS.

As I am on Virgin TV - and have no intention of changing - does this mean that I won't be able to see BT TV live Premiership matches (Virgin carry ESPN as part of their current XL package). There is no BT TV content on Virgin at the moment. Do BT TV make any programmes or are they just a signal "carrier".

BT are looking at extending the mediums they will show the content on.
It is a no brainer really - without SKY and Virgin carrying the content too they will never be able to recoup the money they have spent. So, rest assured that BTs football channel will be available to most of the population.

I wonder how it will all pan out. Like the Sky F1 deal, it could result in fewer people watching the matches live.

How can one get it? BT are doing what Sky did...they are using the content to drive people to the platform. Someone who works in media explained this to me a few years ago....Sky are not a Satellite TV company they are a content provider. They go round paying top dollar for must have content to make people take their service.....Virgin Media tried copying this strategy about four years ago and Sky pulled their content off the Virgin Media cable platform quicker than you can say boo...the Virgin CEO quit a few months later. Satellite is an outdated medium it will all be IPTV in the future which is why Sky have become an ISP and BT have bought these rights. The next battle will be to see who has the IPTV platform of choice (Sky are launching there one this year).

They can't have a f king penny of my money, not Sky, or BT, or Virgin, or ESPN, or anyone trying to obtain a monopoly. I'd rather watch crown green bowling on Dave than give my hard earned cash.

Well I suppose that is because of the massive amount they are paying out for the rights. Ultimately though when everything goes IPTV they will surely make a lot more money.....piping their product down the internet must be hugely cheaper than doing it via satellite. That said they will have to pay the ISP's for band width otherwise people will throttle their content because of the loads it will put on the system.

I worked it out at nearly £20m per game. I had no idea the rights would be anywhere near that.
Edit - but the article says £6m, which sounds (a bit) more realistic. I'm still not sure though because if Sky paid £2.3bn, did they get 380 Premiership matches, or the 115 quoted?
