LONDON (Reuters) - European pay-TV group Sky is to increase its prices for sports and family entertainment packages in Britain, just six weeks after it agreed to pay a record fee for the rights to show English Premier League football matches.
Sky, which normally increases its prices in September, said on Thursday the price of a sports TV package would rise by 1 pound to 47 pounds ($70) a month. Its family bundle, which includes its highest profile shows and box-sets of drama, would rise by 3 pounds a month to 36 pounds.
