Somehow I'm not that surprised at this development with BT Sport. At one point WWE were a great option for Sky to plug holes in channels when they had just three; now that they've moved into a 'channel per sport' option and (it seems) they're planning to keep up the NFL deal, I think Action and Arena can be easily filled with plenty of other stuff that probably rates very similarly to censored repeats of Raw and Smackdown.

Thing with the NFL is, the GamePass is relatively cheap if thatās all youāre into. NBA is extortionate because of the number of games/length of season. But my nfl on costs Ā£35 a quarter with no game blackouts.Ā Iām surprised Sky arenāt trying to hold onto WWE. While the live showings donāt garner good viewers, the product as a whole surely is very well-watched. The bigger picture for Sky is they wonāt have Game of Thrones on atlantic anymore which was also probably a huge game changer for them with the exclusivity. Almost all of their in house produced stuff across the whole network is garbage (except League of their Own & soccer Am) Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IE not streaming, not having several different subscriptions to get all I have now, not having to use a console to access, or 'cast' it to the TV. I'm still not even sure what that means nevermind able to do it. BT is a TV channel not a streaming channel.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCJ Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I can only guess that BT putĀ in a ridiculous bid for WWE that even Sky refused to pay like with the Champions League. BT Sport is pretty good in that you can get legal access to it at a relatively low price if youāre with BT Internet, Plusnet or EE. You can use their App on certain Smart TVs and get everything they show in HD or you can use it with Chromecast or Apple TV.Ā I think theyāre even working on making the App 4K. With Plusnet in particular, I think itās currently an extra Ā£5 a month. Itās actually a lot cheaper than Sky if you get it that way but Iāll be honest, Skyās Premier League football coverage is far better. If BT decide to put full WWE shows on demand on their App then thatāll be pretty decent for the fans. If however theyāll expect you to pay extra for a set top box to record the shows then I wonāt be impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted May 17, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted May 17, 2019 Given that it takes eight days to watch a weekās worth of WWE these days, BT Sport would be playing a blinder if they were able to bump off YouTube.
