Bt To Launch Pay-per-view Channel

BT Sport has announced plans to launch a pay-per-view channel that will be available on BT TV and Sky.

Launching later this year, BT said that further details regarding BT Sport Box Office will be released soon.

In December last year, both Sky and BT TV reached an agreement to sell titled channels on each other’s platforms from the start of 2019. BT agreed to wholesale its BT Sport channels, whilst Sky’s Now TV service will be available on BT TV.

This season, BT Sport retained the rights to show the Premier League for a further three years. Sky Sports and BT Sport acquired the live domestic rights until 2022, with BT paying £295m per season for 32 matches on Saturdays, and Sky paying £3.579bn for 128 matches per season.
