Along with Sky Movies, Sky Sports is the second sparkling jewel set in Sky’s crown. Unsurpassed coverage of Premiership football, international cricket, the Six Nations Rugby, Grand Slam tennis tournaments and the most prestigious golfing event dominate the schedule, but there is also room for lesser known, regional sports. All in all, 100 different sports are featured on Sky Sports. A sense of innovation diffuses their coverage too, with more camera angles, more reporters and a greater level of analysis permeating each broadcast.

Several series have succeeded in rendering viewers addicted over the past few years – and probably none more so than the ramshackle adventures of the cast of Lost. There is more than a hint of Robinson Crusoe in the plot of the ill-assembled collection of individuals that are left stranded together after their aeroplane, Oceanic Flight 815, crashes on a mysterious Pacific island. The members of the cast then indulge in a series of adventures as the plot slowly unravels – leading to confusion and panic.
