Sky's Sport customers could be hit in the pocket

The company's reported a 234 percent jump in net profit to 39.6 million dollars, in the half year to the end of December.

However, revenue's down by seven percent because people streaming programmes online have cheaper subscriptions than those with Sky boxes.

Herald business reporter Chris Keall ] says Sky will be keeping a tight rein on costs to stop that revenue decline.

He says that may include increasing the price of Sky Sport channels or the streaming app, but it won't happen until July.
