message: I have removed this line > "WWE programming is the second most watched programming on the channel only beaten on occasion by high profile Premiership football matches."
This is no longer true and has been the case for some years now. Golf, Cricket, Boxing, Soccer AM all out perform WWE programming on a weekly basis. The ratings for WWE are nothing like they once were. Several years back, the WWE ratings for RAW were around 400,000+ - the same show today is usually around the 60,000 to 100,000 rating now. 
This week's (26/03/2006) ratings include Soccer AM (306,000), Cricket (208,000), Speedway (136,000), Golf (103,000) and WWE RAW (71,000). --Revolt 17:48, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've again removed this line but changed it to "amongst" top rated. Looking at this week's, rubgy outranks WWE programming if looking at the ratings overall (rugby isn't repeated as often as WWE to make it "fair"), whilst various things like Soccer AM, cricker and golf still outrank individual WWE shows. --Revolt 10:29, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Fromthearticle: "For the first time in 2006, Sky Sports will hold exclusive rights to live Heineken Cup rugby in the UK and ROI, with RTE only able to show tape-delayed coverage and S4C able to show only highlights."
ERCrugby.com  states S4C are showing live games. Is that correct? Alexj2002 00:06, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

message: There is no need to list all the pay-per-view events on wwe. It takes up too much space and is a bit irrelevant. There is no list of all football games or rugby games shown on Sky Sports, so there shouldnt be one on wrestling, which isnt a major programme compared to football and cricket. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.153.9.136 (talk) 01:35, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Is it possible to obtain these channels through a cable or satellite company in the US? The reason I'm asking is because it doesn't seem like I can access the UEFA Champions League games through any channels here (ESPN Deportes doesn't exist through any company here and ESPN lied about their listings on ESPN Classic and ESPN2...and they don't even air all the games and the Fox Soccer Channel doesn't look like they air it at all). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.123.251.204 (talk) 00:40, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The article mentions Sky recently losing the right to Frank Warren's Sports Network boxing to ITV but when did they get the rights in the first place. I seem to think it was around 1996, but can anyone provide a source? Scarletman 15:24, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I recall that the BBC did some live coverage of the 1987 Ashes tour to Australia; I think its true that Sky was the first to cover an entire match but not the first to broadcast live coverage of an overseas game.

message: On Sunday 31 Jan 2010, the Arsenal v Man Utd game was also shown in 3D in around 30 pubs around the UK.  The special glasses were seen being tried by Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, and the commentators and the studio presenters made mention of this being a world premiere live sports 3D presentation several times (see Sky makes 3D history for details).   Perhaps this should be mentioned in the article somewhere, but I don't know how best to work it into the current wording.  Astronaut (talk) 04:23, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

message: It is a well known fact that British rugby league's governing body, the RLF, it totally within the grasp of Sky Sports TV and have plainly and simply become nothing more than Sky's lackeys. When Sky say to the RFL "Jump", the RFL says back "How high?". The sooner they part company the better.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 51.9.99.218 (talk) 13:05, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

message: Surely Sky Sports Football has replaced Sky Sports 5 instead of Sky Sports Premier League. Sky Sports 5 mainly showed European football which I understand that Sky Sports Football is going to do. Also Sky Sports 5 rarely showed live Premier League matches, which I believe Sky Sports Premier League will do. Mobile mundo (talk) 16:27, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
