Oh and since they started showing NFL Redzone on this new channel, Sky have now stppoed showing full live NFL games on other FTA channels like Sky Two which they did last season.
Total bait and switch job from Sky as suspected.”
Bait and switch = Promotional channel which was surely it's main purpose anyway. It's like criticizing the old Sky Sports Free for all days for advertising.
Anyway I think the other clue is in the name MIX

I'm not surprised they keep changing focus as to which sports they cover each month, i.e. from Cricket, to Netball to Tennis to Basketball etc.
Obviously they were going to open strong but overall the channel is meeting my expectations, in fact as far as exclusive live content is concerned it's far exceeded them. I think that many SKY Sports subscribers will actually be pleasantly surprised how the channel has in effect become a way of seeing additional content rather than it being just a rehash of what they already get.
Personally Redzone every week as made it for me.
