I hope so. £34 is too much.
Starting price on Sky seems to be about £18/month for one channel. I suspect it would be similar on Now TV. Can't imagine it would be any lower than £15/month.
Will make the passes on Now TV complex. If they allow mix and match there would be 100s of combinations.

Rebranding to start on Tuesday 18th July. Up to that point shows are on a particular channel, but after that just Sky Sports.

Sky Sports | Introducing the new Sky Sports
So yes they will be on Now TV
But not sure if they all will be (assuming Mix is included in the 10)

Our new dedicated channels launch 18 July.
No. For existing Sports customers the new channels will be available automatically.
Our new Sky Sports packs launch in 18 July.
You will be able to only pay for the sports you love with our new dedicated channels, so if you just love cricket you'll be able to buy the cricket channel.
We wanted to give our customers notice of the change in advance. New Sky Sports will be coming soon - you can buy the new packs from 18 July
We want to give our customers more choice, flexibility and value. You will still be able to get all Sports on the new Complete Sports Pack and this is the best way to enjoy all of the great sporting events coming up this summer.
No, the new packs and our new dedicated channels will both launch 18 July. You can access the great sporting events coming up before then with your current Sports subscription.
The channel numbers for our new range of channels are:
No, at launch existing Sports customers will be able to view all Sky Sports content and all new channels. This will only change should you decide to downgrade from the full pack.

thanks for the new

Was just about to post asking the same thing. Would be nice to know if with the new structure, we can just get passes for certain channels.
I only really watch the football, so a pass for just the new Premier league channel and Sky Sports Football at a reduced price would be great for me.

I suspect that things will stay the same for NOW TV. They already offer a day pass for all sports channels for £6.99, so I can't imagine they'll do anything cheaper than that.

Most likely it won't. Day and week passes should be the same as there are plenty out there with nigh on a year to run. There is the possibility of a single channel monthly pass, but if there is that would mean up to 7 extra passes, giving Now TV 13 different passes.
I suspect Now TV will remain the same for the time being to avoid the complexity, but I could be wrong. Will see next week.
