GMac 1,405 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 BT Sport have signed an exclusive deal to cover Champions league and europa league for three years from 2015. 350 games a season.http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24879138Any point in BT continuing covering Scottish football? Is it time for Rangers to put more focus in to Rangers TV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJ 743 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 What?So when Sky came into football all those years ago and signed up for the EPL and then the CL, did you fear for their agreement with the EPL?BTS are in it for the long haul and I for one am loving the fact that someone is coming in to play Sky at their own game. It can only benefit the viewer and hopefully, the clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure Scottish football got squeezed when SKY increased their coverage in EPL and took on CL matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

danger ranger 922 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 The big problem is you will have to pay more to see all of the games on sky and BT, and I don't think they will give any more cash to Scottish football, therefore dragging Rangers earnings down as the SPFL will control the monies.Live Rangers tv seems to have taken a back seat since CG left and is heading nowhere, so it seems.

BTS is on freeview, SKY and Virgin, so the free to air games are terrestrial! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
