BT and Sky have signed a contract for the wholesale supply of Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports 2 to BT.

     The contract means that BT customers will be able to sign up for the subscription channels from early July. BT Vision customers will be able to view Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports 2 from August 1, in time for the start of the Premier League football season on August 14.

     BT will be revealing its pricing shortly.

     Gavin Patterson, chief executive of BT Retail, said: "We are delighted to have reached this milestone, which means that we can be certain of offering Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports 2 to our customers before the football season kicks off.  We know our customers will be keen to sign up for the two channels."
