Sky Says It Is Still Looking Into Package Structure

Commenting on press speculation over moves to offer small premium channel packages, a spokesperson for BSkyB this afternoon said that the company had no completed plans for the structure and price of digital satellite television channels.

He claimed that the volume of different channels which will be available may mean that a variety of packages will be on offer to customers. He would not, however, confirm that customers will be able to by-pass ‘big basic’ selections in favour of a few premium channels, and for a lower price.

There are also plans being drawn up for a digital TV listings guide, believed to be published by Redwood Publishing, producers of the existing Sky TV Guide. The Sky spokesperson said that a number of different formats were being discussed, and that a launch is not imminent.
