Why is Sky Sports News so English Biased?

Question

Sky is supposed to be a British company but everyday on sky sports news the spend 75% of the hours news talking about English and 25% about everything else!

When Frank Lampard signed his new chelski deal they showed his Interview every 5 minutes! Why?

Last year the scottish lower leagues started a week before the SPL and the english lower leagues, but they didn't keep you up to date with the latest scores like they do with every single league in England, Why not?

When are they going to bring out a Scottish version?

Answer 1

amazed me when an English footballers mother died...jeez it was all over sky sports news....

then we heard the sad news that Scott Brown's sister had died at a tender age of 21..not a mention on sky news.

My other half has emailed them a couple of times complaining of their anti scottish stance..alas it never changed

Erra I watch Setanta sports news more often than anything...about the same to be honest and they are not too quick with their updates..they reported Celtic had signed Loovens 3 days after it had happened

Answer 2

Because England is the centre of the world nhojit, nevermind talking about the wee bit on the top of it!!

Bunch of diks on sky sports, i read the news about the queens game tonight and they got about 3 things wrong about it on that - they dont care!! England, England, England, cant wait till Croatia thump them again!!!

Answer 3

I sacked it because of it. Setanta is better for pure football from Europe.

Answer 4

nothing new there then are they ?

thats why theres no money in scottish football they have invested all there money in english football so they are trying to get there moneys worth and at the same time hypnotize us all into doing the same wait till the bubble bursts

Answer 5

Its owned by the Murdochs who also own The Sun.

Its bound to be the same old c**p.

Answer 6

Englands population 50 million , Scotland 5 million , do the math, this is what happens when your in a so called United Kingdom which in affect is ruled by one country, the basic truth is that all England cares about Scotland is your oil, Unless you claim your Independence this will never change

Answer 7

sky sports news talks bout football n stuff they get down to rly important stuff n scottish version in america will never happen.

Answer 8

id blame it on the fact they dont televise our games, but even when they did it was probably the same.

ive never watched setanta news is it any better?

bazspur thats an excellent idea, wouldnt take them ten minutes an hour to provide specialist coverage for scotland, england northern ireland, wales and ireland.

Answer 9

because they are nationalists and want to convince Scotland how superior the English are over the Scots, Welsh, Irish, Germans and French.

Answer 10

they should regionalise the channel.it would p**s me off if all we got was scottish footie.

Answer 11

As SKY invest so heavily in the EPL their focus is going to aim there, not anywhere else.

If the SPL/ SFA had taken the £80+ million on offer a few years ago, then there would be more coverage.

But these whizzes being the insightful top marketing bods that they are looked a gift horse in the mouth and said: "No thanks our game is saturated in money, so take your princely sum somewhere else".

Me, cynical? You could say that yes.
