Don’t think that we will lose NOW. From my point of view Sky are an app aggregator.
It’s clear that NOW is purely for the Sky channels with the exception of Alibi and Gold.
Hopefully over time we will see merging of some or all memberships for an overall competitive price.

I prefer to pick and choose between the bundles to be honest, something which was harder to do with Sky in the old days. Each to their own, of course.

Agreed.
In my opinion both cinema and entertainment memberships should be merged with a retail price of £9.99.
That being said streamers internationally have sports as part of their product. Like Paramount+ and HBO Max in many countries.

I think that's disagreed actually, @gavs82008. 😉

Haha 😜
When I was with Sky and wanted sports for one channel, I hated paying for the whole lot. More annoyingly you needed the basic package too.
Still granted it could possibly be done with NOW if pricing is right. It certainly doesn’t help that the sports is insanely overpriced! 🤣

Hey, in that context we still get the moans now. My main interest in Sports is the EPL and that will always attract a premium price. Egg chuckers and red ball throwers etc. are of course miffed that Sky hoovered up so many of those rights. Money talks.

The sad and scary fact is the US Peacock gets EPL literally at no extra cost.
So you could actually watch it for free or it might as well be free.

Um, that's the EPL in the US. Try NFL, NBA etc as a comparison.

Even then Peacock gives you live sports at no extra cost. As long as your subscribed to the premium plan at $4.99.
Fair enough the sports coverage is slightly different and probably just as fragmented. It still shows that we are paying too much for the sports in the UK.

I am currently paying £19.99 for Sports which I am just about comfortable with. No way will I ever pay the full whack of £33.99. I would rather risk going with dodgyvision.
