Sky lost absolute buckets for years and years and it was only because Murdoch had the vision and minerals to keep throwing huge amounts of money at it and the greed of football selling its soul that eventually worked.
If Setanta UK had a similar backer rather than fly by night venture capitalists, they would have still been around.

Politely disagree mate. Don't say you're a news service when you're not. They either pretend non-Sky stuff doesn't exist or try and spoil highlights shows by flashing up results without warning.

Oh aye. I'd always read it as Sky...Sports News not Sky Sports...News
Suppose it's how you look at it. They certainly aren't an effective sports news service.
