Sky and BT to share TV channels from “early 2019”

The deal means Sky will receive "wholesale supply" of BT Sport channels, while BT TV customers will have access to Sky's NOW TV services.

For the first time, Sky customers will be able to include BT Sport as part of their Sky TV bundle - or on a standalone basis across all Sky platforms, including Sky Go.

For Sky subscribers, this means access to every Premier League, UEFA Champions League and Europa League fixture will be available through their Sky contract.

In other Sky-related news, we can see the TV service eventually land in the lap of Disney. Disney’s just announced the acquisition of 21st Century Fox’s film and TV business, including Fox’s existing stake in Sky. And as Fox is currently in a bidding war for the portion of Sky is doesn’t already own, the fate of Sky’s ownership is for now uncertain.
