Sky announced the new model for sports yesterday whereby you subscribe to a sport eg football channels £18, all sports £26 I think. This may in my opinion accelerate their decline as people like me may chuck it in now as you can get a now tv pass for anything you really want. You can see that they think they will arrest this decline if there are simply a lot more live games- but i am not sure they are right. The future will be a subscription to your own clubs games and I am not sure why football will need sky as a middle man much longer.
Murdoch has lost his touch in my opinion as he is trying to buy it out just as its business model is coming to an end- a bit like when he spunked a billion on myspace.

The MLB and NFL show how an organisation can launch and provide it's own streaming/subscription service.
Both offer every game (except for local market home games), you pay the governing bodies directly and they distribute the monies between the teams.
A little easier to do as there aren't different levels but the FA should do this and then big clubs can't break away. Would distribute money more evenly and lead to better competition at club level.
