Further to Simon's report on Sky's PPV pricing policy for next season,
OnDigital have been sending their subscribers info on
the new packages they can shell out for.
OnDigital is changing its name to ITV digital, with a new "ITV Sport" channel which includes the Champions League, Nationwide League, and Worthless Cup games. Typically, the letter tries to
suck subscribers in with the
"special introductory" price of £6.99/month which covers both
ITV Sport and a PPV "season ticket". But this only lasts 3 months following which this price will cover only ITV Sport, with the PPV being an extra £3/month.
They're dropping the OnSport channels which means fewer sports
channels overall. It remains to be seen if the Champs League
coverage will suffer as a result....
...thanks to Mick Champness for clarifying this. He rang ThingDigital and was told they'll continue to screen 2 champs
league games simultaneously when necessary, using "ITV Text +" for
the second match. So that's some good news anyway.
