even if it was a possibility from a legal point of view, it almost certainly wouldn't make economic sense.
Even with 10,000 subscribers paying ?60 - that is only 600k before tax. In the new Premier League deal, Sky are paying an average of ?10m per match. Obviously the rights to the championship would be a lot less, but it's still going to be a lot more than 600k to stream 46 games.
Add in the problems about showing games live at 3pm on a saturday in UK. Plus the fact that any stream would be lifted and made available for free on another platform, and it's just not workable at the moment.
