I reckon Sky will produce very good coverage because they will want more subscribers. If they can produce coverage that is good enough to win over the hardcore that does watch it, it may tempt many of those who initially refuse to subscribe

Plus it's all about creating a monopoly in sports
The irony is that the BBC doesn't even need to chase viewing figures, they get paid even if someone buys a TV and never turns it on.
