Broadcaster will scrap pay-TV packages in favour of monthly opt-ins for prime content
BT is to scrap its traditional pay-TV packages and allow customers to pay for prime content such as
Premier League football on a monthly basis, as it aims to keep pace with the flexibility offered by streaming services such as
Netflix and Disney+.
BT has traditionally used its multibillion pound portfolio of rights, from
Champions League to Premiership Rugby and
boxing, to lock consumers into long-term contracts bundling TV packages with broadband and phone services.
