Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Interesting development. Equivalent of the Premier League buying Sky UK.

Italy’s football league is considering a proposal to buy Sky Italia from its current owners Comcast.

In a story first reported by the Italian daily La Stampa, Serie A would wants to create its own Serie A channel. By purchasing the broadcaster as a whole, the League would automatically have access to Sky’s infrastructure and customer base.

However, the original Italian article suggests Comcast would be a reluctant seller.

The non-paywalled part of La Stampa's article says

Serie A wants Sky[Italia]: Ready to invest 2 billion €

The Football League is considering seeking bank loans in order to make an offer for the pay-TV company. But Comcast has invested a lot of money in its Italian subsidiary and seems unwilling to sell it.
