I doubt Sky will ever go down the route of a FTA sports channel like BT- they are far too far down the line for that now.
I think Sky if they want the Champions League will have to work with a terrestrial partner- both to satisfy UEFA and their balance sheet. |

No more Sky Sport until 10th Sep 2016 for me, next live MUFC game live on Sky Sport
I will have to suffer now for not having SSMix and missing out on niche niche sport |

Absolutely. And the introduction of Sky Sports Mix could equally be as a precursor to any attempted Sky exclusive bid in the upcoming tender. I'm sure it would go down better having a bundled channel with the 'regular' channels, even though if they won rights I would highly imagine them to strike a FTA deal with ITV again.
And BT sport showed CL & EL finals were both available on YouTube And Sky could always use Pick tv channel for free to air commitment if They wanted to |

I'd be amazed if ssmix is a hit. Most people don't seem to know about it. Will be interesting to see how heavily and how long they market it for but it i'm expecting fewer than 100k watching

Sky still could do an exclusive bid for CL & EL using SSMix which has 10millon subs plus all (how ever many ppls) get it on virgin media
And BT sport showed CL & EL finals were both available on YouTube And Sky could always use Pick tv channel for free to air commitment if They wanted to A combination of a ITV showing one live game a week and either Sky or BT showing the rest seems the likeliest outcome. Sky Sports Mix is just a channel to try and get existing consumers to upgrade to Sky Sports/a week pass to Now TV. |

How successful it is will be really depends on Sky's strategy for it. I can understand Sky not showing a particular sport in a regular slot on the channel, as it is a 'mix' channel, but where it will lose viewer interest is if it picks up a particular tennis tournament, say, shows a few days of that tournament but then opts not to show the final. Similarly, this could happen by not showing the final Sunday of a golf tournament that's on mix.

What will the point of this channel be. Do we really need Another repeat station. SS5 normaly relay what's on other channels the cricket will be on Mix as well as normal sky sports channel so what really is the point. The only thing I think that should go on Mix is all these pixy sport documentarys take them off SS and put that rubbish on the mix channel.

If Sky want exclusivity then they are going to have to pay more than BT last time for that privilege and I don't see where that money comes from in today's climate.
I know ppls will say it's getting to much to pay but we all end up paying and so sky's cash cow keeps on going |

Sky will use it to promote/encourage subscribers to upgrade to a full Sky Sports subscription. http://www.skysports.com/more-sports...h-on-august-24 |

Sky Sports News HQ is part of the Original Bundle; thus available to all Sky TV subscribers (i.e. including non-sports subscribers); and is popular amongst a wider base than Sky Sports subscribers. Sky Sports Mix should benefit from its positioning on the EPG, and no doubt, promotion on Sky Sports News HQ. |

In that article it is claimed that Sky Sports News has a reach of 17 million. Surely not that many people subscribe to Sky?
They may have included reach via other platforms in the figure for Sky Sports News HQ? |

That's two words alright but I said neither word was niche. Is English not your first language?
He must though. He does "communication" for a living. (Seriously though, based on what I've quoted has anybody ever been less suited to their job description )It will be part of the main Sky Sport's package in the future when many people watch it |

I'm guessing you're guessing it'll eventually be restricted to the Sports Bundle though, so your strange suggestion that more people would watch a channel if it was available to less subscribers is so ridiculous that surely even you can see that
