FOR subscribers of sports packages who signed their contracts before Oct 1, StarHub will not levy early termination fees if they cancel the service after July next year.

StarHub still holds the exclusive broadcast rights for the current English Premier League (EPL) season, as well as ESPN Star Sports (ESS) until mid-2010. The rights that SingTel won begin only with the August 2010 season.

By mid-2010, StarHub will revise the pricing for its sports content to reflect the absence of the EPL, also known as the Barclays Premier League (BPL), and the two ESS channels.
