If Bt has bought back 2million 5 thousand shares to day. How come it shows on trades as a sell?

I didn't get in that low skinny I thing my first buy was at 110p and last one at around 140p for an average of about 120p.

Makes me laugh everyone calling them a buy now , same clowns were probably saying sell when we bought !

I remember when they were sub £1, the doom mongers were out in force - so I bought,

I also bought ARM at about the same time for around a quid.

I never understood tech stuff like ARM so tend not to touch as I can't place my own fair value on them.

Exception was the tech/internet bubble where I bought any old crap that was going up

:-)

Here's the one!

Champions League: BT Sport 'to announce £900m rights deal'

And now a done deal :- Champions League: BT Sport win £897m football rights deal

BT Sport deal highlights

Three-year deal costing £897m
All 350 matches in the Champions League and Europa League broadcast live each season from 2015
First time a single UK broadcaster has won the exclusive live rights
Champions League final will be shown for free from 2015
At least one match involving each participating British team for free every season

That's a big feather in the cap for BT and a big loss to Sky, be interesting to see the reaction on Monday. ITV sp may be hit, good oppo to add :O) Sky are very professional, whether BT can match them in that regard remains to be seen. Reading between the lines and comments from across the road they may have to lease some of the games out initially.

As a Chels fan and sky subscriber my likely behaviour right now would be to drop CL viewing as the PL is more important imo

I suspect many chels to be of a similar opinion so BT are certainly not going to run away with it

About time someone challenged Sky's monopoly.

Way your lot are playing Joe you won't be playing CL football next season let alone 2015.

LIV GARFIELD TO LEAVE BT FOR SEVERN TRENT

BSkyB CEO says keen to sign BT wholesale sports deal

(Reuters) - BSkyB (BSY.L) is keen to sign a mutual wholesale deal with BT (BT.L) so both groups can offer their customers the full range of live sports, Chief Executive Jeremy Darroch said on Wednesday.

BSkyB, the dominant pay-TV group in Britain, lost the rights to show Champions League soccer to BT earlier this month, making it more important that the two groups agree a wholesale deal so BSkyB can show the BT sports channels on its platform and vice versa.

Speaking at a Morgan Stanley conference in Barcelona, Darroch said he did not expect to take a huge hit from the loss of the channels and that they had not been willing to pay any more for the rights.
