And lo, it has come to pass, as fans have been calling for since last decade on this thread.
Sky TV now finally have a dedicated 24 hour football channel.
Available at no extra cost as part of the new Sky Sport package.
Part of a revamp of Sky Sport commencing today.
Nine permanent Sky Sport channels plus a Sports News channel and ESPN 1 & 2.
Just looking at the schedule for the new Sky Sport 7 football channel which commenced broadcasting today, they seem to have taken over everything that was on the one BeIn Sport channel that was left on Sky.
English Championship & EFL, Bundesliga, la Liga, MLS, Copa Libertadores etc.
No doubt the A-League will be carried there too, along with internationals
So it seems BeIn no longer has a seperate channel carried on Sky.
Better value for football followers now that they don't have to pay extra for the BeIn Sport content but get it as part of their Sky Sport package.
Most people would have been subscribing to BeIn Sport on Sky for the EPL coverage.
Now they've lost the rights, I suspect too many people stopped subscribing, so Sky have taken the BeIn coverage under their umbrella.
A very positive move by Sky in my book.
All nine Sky Sport channels will be available from mid-August on Sky's new sports steaming service Sky Sport Now for $49.95 per month.
