Premier Sports / premier sports rugby

I read somewhere we will be getting these channels on the EPG on Sky stream. Does anyone know more about this at all?

I think if/when it gets announced it will be on the "changes to the tv guide" thread and maybe a post of its own but at the moment other than Premier saying they intend to launch on Glass/Stream I dont think there's been any further information shared. It's also not clear if they're launching channels or an app at this point.

Thanks @AndrewF_UK

It would be useful to get some form of update from Sky? Virgin media have launched it so surely Sky won't want to lose rugby fans over to a competitor

I'm sure when all parties are ready they'll announce something but they're unlikely to talk about anything before everything is finalised.

And if it's not happening, I wouldn't expect them to announce that, because announcing all of the things you're  not doing is a full time job.

I'd expect the announcement to come first from Premier Sport or a joint announcement from Premier Sports and Sky.

With barriers to changing (contracts, equipment), it is curious why Premier sports wouldn't have launched the rugby at same time on all platforms, is there a clause between Premier sports and Virgin media contract.

Interesting point @nolte
