SKY are panicking due to the start of Freeview HD.

A lot of the football is outside of them particularly the World Cup, so they are having to retrench their diversification coverage of other sports.

Should be good for us.

Yeah, but any sport apart from football is a minority sport.

not just the big clubs but say a normal or mid table game?
and what about for the championship games?

How many of the 60,943,912 have television?
Of those that do have television how many have Sky? I'd guess at under 10 million.
There are over 230 television broadcast stations in the UK.
Not everyone likes sport.

When you look at the figures for Football we really do quite well. That our top games get significantly higher figures than the lower end figures and similar to the mid level for football games really does surprise me.
