Sky offers comparison table for sports packages

Thu, 19 Aug 2010 16:30:13 GMT

Sky has created a new comparison table for its sports packages, putting the price and package deals of Sky and its main competitors side by side.

The comparison tables allow consumers to check prices and features between Sky and competitors, meaning customers can now compare Sky and BT prices as well as compare Sky and Virgin Media.

Features compared include which Sky Sports channels are available, the availability of interactive coverage, high definition channels, the ability to watch Sky Sports online or on a mobile viewing platform, and whether the provider offers 3D viewing.

On the page to compare Sky Sports with BT's offerings, Sky has produced a carousel listing ten reasons it believes its offering is superior, including items such as smaller minimum contract.

The schedule for Sky Sports for the next 12 months includes the Barclays Premier League, UEFA Champions League, the Ashes, the Guinness Premiership, the Ryder cup, the US Open as well as many other world's sporting highlights, in many cases available in high definition and 3D.
