So guess that means my sky sports subscription will be reinstated even though I have no interest in it
SKY Sports customers who have paused their subscriptions are set to start paying again from next month when live sport returns to TV.
In March, the telecoms giant allowed customers to pause their
Sky Sports subscriptions when the coronavirus pandemic meant almost all sport - including Premier League football - was called off. But as lockdown eases and with some sport set to resume Sky is now planning to start charging customers again from June 19.
Customers will only start paying again if live sport has resumed by that date.
The plans have been revealed by
Sky staff on its community forum.
The Premier League is currently planning to return next month, with the exact date to be decided this week.
Nick Baker, TV expert for USwitch.com said: “Sky says that customers won’t be charged anything before mid-June, but it’s naturally disappointing that some consumers have had to find out this way.
"Sky Sports won’t be able to offer the depth and breadth of football, golf, cricket, F1 and other sports that fans expect for some time.
“Many customers may feel hard done by if they have to pay full price for a service that isn’t what they signed up for.
"If you are not happy, raise your concerns with Sky in the first instance.”
Sky is expected to automatically reinstate subscriptions and it will inform customers when this will be.
If customers pay for an individual sports pack then they won't be charged if that sport has resumed.
