With global sports on hold due to the coronavirus, Comcast-owned pay TV Sky U.K. is letting subscribers pause sports channels subscriptions. Details:
With the ongoing coronavirus pandemic having seen almost all professional sporting events and leagues shut down, pan-European pay TV giant Sky, owned by Comcast, is giving its U.K. customers the chance to pause subscriptions to its premium Sky Sports channel.
Sky exclusively airs the majority of the soccer games of the hugely popular English Premier League, which last week announced it was postponing until early April . Rugby, cricket, golf, tennis and Formula One competitions have also been severely disrupted by crisis. Sky Sports and BT Sports – which has the second-biggest tranche of English Premier League games in the U.K. and also airs the now-postponed European Champions League competition – have also stopped billing their commercial customers.
