Sky Sports News not in Sky Sports Pack?

Why is Sky Sports News not part of the Sky Sports package rather it is part of the entertainment package

It seems unfair people that just want sky sports have to subscribe an extra £12 who want the news channel as well?

Sky has packaged Sky Sports News & Sky Sports Mix in within it’s Sky Basics wholesale group. The idea is that these can be offered outside the premium pack as a “tempter” to get people to subscribe to the premium pack. This applies to Sky’s own customers as well as to wholesale, so there is not a lot VM can do to change it.
