Non-sports subscribers have been subsidising the Sky sports channels output without receiving any benefit, so now they do and from a Sky point of view it counters the BT Sports channels that BT tag on to their broadband.

Others wiser than me in other threads have demonstrated that Sky Sports is a profit centre and not subsidised by the rest of Sky.
If it made as much profit as some claim, you would be allowed sports without channels you don't want! (If like me, you don't want Sky1 or the other crap you have to have with entertainment just to watch sports!) |

With Sky Sports Mix one of their aims is to further monetise income from existing rights, partly through ad revenue plus they are getting a bit of extra cash from selling the channel to Virgin Media. Also a significant amount of content is stuff exclusive to Mix or content that's only on the red button. So a percentage of the time live content is in addition to the content on Sky sports, e.g. Dutch football, some of the tennis, women's golf, netball, NFL red zone |

More good news for cricket fans. The first day of the India v England First Test Match in a couple of weeks will be on Mix. Only the first day mind.
And for rugby they have added England Women v Canada Women on Saturday 26th November as well as the Dubai Womens Sevens at the beginning of December |

Also on Sky 1. So this game is on three Sky channels overlapping with Wales v Australia on BBC One. |

I dont get why sky dont have games on SSN or Pick instead if having a dedicated channel of mainly second rate games. Would having games on SSN or Pick not incline people to upgrade to Sky Sports more?

Sky won't run live stuff on their News channel and pick won't grab as much new viewers as SS Mix.

![]() No! Id much rather have a HD channel than Pick which looks like you are watching programmes filmed through a potato. In any case SS Mix is effectively being used as a 6th Sky Sport channel for overspill. |

Also pertinent (I think) is that SSM is not available to pub subs.

You sure about the EFL cup game?
Although they might change their mind before then, they did do over Leicester v Chelsea. |

Don't see why they need 3 channels for this, might as well been SS Mix and SS1.
