Whilst the loss of FTA sport is a regrettable consequence, I personally take the view that a shakeup was needed in the pay TV sport market. They may have successfully convinced a gullible few that they are the best thing since sliced bread, but Sky had become disturbingly dominant and complacency has crept in. Some of their pricing is also outrageous and basically daylight robbery (i.e. £9.99 for one day of Sky Sports access via "Now TV").
Time to let someone else have a go. Consumers deserve more options and on terms that are more suitable for them. I hope movies is next to be split up, again they seem to have an unhealthy monopoly over these rights.”
