Football encroaching everywhere!!

What is going on?

 

I have just tuned into my Sky Sports channels only to find that Sky Golf and Sky F1 are both showing football.

 

This afternoon, 

 

SkySpME

SkySpPL HD

SkySPFL HD

SkySp+ HD

SkySp Golf HD

SkySpF1 UHD

SkySp News HD

 

Are all showing Football !!

 

I thought I was paying for Sky Sports, not Sky Football.

 

It's Sunday afternoon, I want to watch some golf or the run up to the Grand Prix this evening, not a bunch of over paid prima donnas rolling around pretending they are hurt.

 

please give me what I am paying for. Tennis and Cricket seem to be playing the right sport, why not Golf and F1?

Hi all,

 

We really appreciate you taking the time to share this with us on the Sky Community!

 

Having checked with the right teams, there will be occasions throughout the Premier League season where multiple football games will be kicking off in the 2pm Sunday slot. In these instances, other Sky Sports channels will be used to ensure the best coverage. This will only happen in season, but I can reassure it will not impact your prime viewing experience on the sports you enjoy.

Why is football on Sky F1 and not motor racing?

 

I pay Sky to watch motor racing and not football so why put football on Sky F1.

Are they going togive me a credit?

@Colin633 

I've moved your post into this ongoing thread. As there is no F1 until this evening coverage will revert back at 4.30pm.

That'll be a no. Any non coverage of F1 for a couple of hours would amount to a few pence.

I've also sent an email praising Sky for allowing me to watch all the football today. Excellent decision to use the channels with no dedicated sport in progress for football instead.

I couldn't agree more, I'm amazed customers would rather watch repeats than a bonus piece of live sport 

 

customers that desperate to watch repeats can easily access them on demand
