Rejected petition Add Sky Sports to Freeview

Sky Sports should be made free to air on terrestrial television, BSkyB will still be fine financially without the cost of the premium subscription fee, they know this but they only care about money.

More details

According to research by the University of Scotland and Sodastream, 88% of people would visit a pub again if it carried Sky Sports compared to a miserable 7% for those that don't carry the channels.

I think the numbers speak for themselves.
