    Do the commentators know they are doing a global feed?

    Doesn't matter. The important thing is that their bosses know there are customers watching that could be paying more for the services with the
    red button, but aren't.

    Do the viewing audience know that Sky has the rights to the global feed?
    (And therefore not unexpected that they might promote Sky TV products?)

    Does anyone outside GB even know what Sky is?

    I expect so seeing as it is constantly dropping water on me when I go

    They operate in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain and Switzerland. So I'm going to say "yes".

    In the US, Sky coverage is carried by ESPN; I'm pretty sure all of my fellow Yanks tune out any mentions of the red button.
