Emma Raducanu rise 'enticed Sky Sports to outbid Amazon' for US Open broadcasting rights

Emma Raducanu fever is still making an impact more than six months after the British teenager won the US Open. Aged 18, she became the first qualifier in history to win a Grand Slam title when she hoisted the trophy in Flushing Meadows. After her US Open triumph, Sky Sports have bought the rights to air the tournament three years after getting rid of tennis from their broadcast.

It's not a way to get their league watched in the UK, they need to go for a more mainstream broadcaster.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Certainly not me. I acknowledge that it’s expensive to subscribe to all the sports streamers if sport is your thing.

Additionally, live streaming on them isn’t that good at the moment either.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Wow - has the worm turned? OB admitting that Streaming is expensive!

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

For sport it is, yes, because they are spread amongst too many providers. Consolidation may happen with time.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

But this is the opposite of what's happening. Sports rights are increasingly fragmenting.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Yes and no. I suspect many of the newer players except Amazon will exit the market in five years.

Consolidation

• BT Sport and Eurosport UK are combining.
• Premier Sports acquired use of the Box Nation brand.

Fragmentation - new entrants

• Amazon
• DAZN
• Fite
• Viasport

Exits

• Eleven Sports
• ESPN
• Setanta
• ITV pay-per-view

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

Not sure that is necessarily the case. Assuming you are talking about the picture, on BT Sport Ultimate it is 4K and HDR streamed on both the Xbox and the Roku (and no doubt others), and looks better than any broadcast platform. On SkyQ and my LG TV the Amazon Prime football picture is as good as any broadcast platform.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

On Now (with Boost) it’s 1080p50. Whereas broadcast Sky Sports HD is 1080i.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

I do accept that this is the case for the sports streamers. However, for dramas, films, documentaries and basically all categories that are not sport-related, a good choice of streamers is a good thing.

Some people moan about not having enough to watch, yet they complain that there is too much choice, which I find curious, to say the least.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

There’s nothing curious about not wanting to be hit in the pocket to fund loss making operations propped up by venture capital or the hopes and dreams of Silicon Valley.

The longer they stay in the market they drive up content costs for consumers, businesses with viable business models and even the free to air market. There’s nothing, absolutely nothing, desirable about that.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

So you think that the non-sports streamers are costlier than Sky? I don’t buy that, although it’s true that if you subscribe to them all at the same time, that is more expensive.

As for sports, it is most certainly a problem that these are scattered over so many streamers, but I do expect there will be consolidation over time.

Incidentally, the inroads into football are showing no signs of abating.

https://www.mediamole.co.uk/entertai...ll_484573.html

[EXTRACT]

The agreement with UEFA will see Viaplay replace Sky Sports as the exclusive UK home of European qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup 2026, Euro 2028 and the Nations League from 2024 to 2027, in addition to international friendlies.


Viaplay also gains the rights from Sky to all of those competitions involving other European national teams, apart from England but including the likes of France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Germany and Spain.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Why should you expect a reduction ?

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

I think the proviso that you subscribe to them all at the same time is the only fair way of comparing costs.

Sky's entertainment content has been fragmented since Disney + started thereby increasing prices for those fans of Fox content.

The costs of Sky Entertainment (or Now TV entertainment pack) on its own have always been cheaper than Sky Entertainment & Disney Plus.

With the advent of HBO Plus in the future, costs for existing content are only likely to increase. There won't be consolidation between Comcast, Warner Brothers Discovery, Walt Disney, Amazon and Apple even if there is consolidation amongst other providers.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Like the one we never saw when Sky lost the Champions and Europa League games to BT? I won't be holding my breath

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Indeed.

The type of user who goes from one streamer to another every month isn’t having a representative experience of a Sky/Virgin pay-tv subscriber before this revolution.

They are also undesirable for the streamer in any case. Imagine the losses if everyone did that.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

I do it all the time. One in, one out every few months. The only problem I get is Sky Atlantic on Now - any new HBO series are only available in a blink-or-you'll-miss-it short window.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

I can see some people on this forum doing it, but I don't think this kind of approach is typical.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

I do the same, the only one I keep is Now TV for the same reason as you, Sky Atlantic.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Agreed. It's not a viable solution for most people to adopt this approach as there would be no streaming market left!

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Exactly... They must be feeling the squeeze if they didn't bid enough

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

I do the same as well

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

They will be - certainly if these new entrants insist upon pushing rights values beyond where even they can make a return.

This isn’t new in the pay-tv market. ITV Digital with Football League rights, Setanta with EPL rights.

Sky (and BT) have naturally focussed on what gets bread and butter, year round subscriptions. Something that none of the minority interest content elsewhere provides (and with the best will in the world to international football, it doesn’t either).

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

It's not appropriate to compare costs alone. You have to take into account the amount of content you watch from the streamers and the quality of that content (in terms of your personal choices). If you compare the costs of ALL the streamers when you might only need, say three of them, you are not getting the true cost to the individual.

It is obvious that the more good quality content that is available, the more it will cost. But that's not the same as saying the streamers are more expensive, particularly if you have the choice of what you subscribe to.

The same principle applies to the channels. You wouldn't count the cost of a Sky subscription with the premium channels included if you were not interested in watching sport or films.

---------- Post added at 10:46 ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 ----------

I don't think many change their streamers every month, but I would imagine that those who vary their subscriptions stick with a streamer until they've seen what they want to see, and then change to another streamer. That change might come after several months or maybe over a couple of years, but that way you can see content from multiple streamers, but spread over a period of time. That represents very good value for money to me.

I think the Sky channels represent poor value for money in terms of their content.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Let me get this straight - to get the depth and breadth of content that used to be available routinely in packages from incumbent pay-tv providers customers will have to wait months and years until they decide to move on to whatever streamer now holds the content for it to be cheaper?

And this is a better solution?

Priceless.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

What ‘depth and breadth’ are you referring to? The streamers cater for just about everything, but you only pay for what you want.

As streaming becomes ever more established, you will find an increasing number of AVOD services as well.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

All of the content previously on incumbent providers that is now on a streaming/minority interest services.

You do indeed "only pay for the content you watch" however with the lost economies of scale that incumbent providers had costs rise for the end users. Or they have sub-optimal experiences like you suggest above with less choice on a given day. Instead having to meticulously plan which streaming services to have on a given month being the narrow set of circumstances where costs are actually saves.

And I'll be no better off.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

I see the FT is reporting that Access Industries is likely to inject another £140m into loss-making DAZN just a few months after the streamer's last bailout.

I'm struggling to see who's winning in this brave new world apart from the sports bodies perhaps.

They could just as easily have gone to other TV channels. The more TV channels and streaming services there are, the more the content gets spread around.

You can be better off with the streamers, but obviously not if you want to view them all at the same time.

Streaming platform Fite surprise frontrunner for LaLiga rights in UK

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

The thing is when Sky or VM negotiate for TV channels to come onto their platforms, they have strong purchasing power and so can get a better deal than you or me on our own.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

I agree, but the end result is that we end up paying for loads of channels we don’t watch - a common complaint on this forum and elsewhere.

In my experience, the streamers offer much more worthwhile content for much less money than the pay TV channels cost. If it’s documentaries you like, Discovery+ has quite a range. If you want reality shows, go to Hayu, and so on.

Sport is a different kettle of fish, and the fragmented nature of sports coverage is what is making it so expensive. However, it has to be said that fragmentation is also an issue for the conventional TV channels. Boxing tends to be pay-per-view, horse racing is separated out into its own channel, motor racing is also separated out (although Sky holds the rights to that), and so on. The streamers are not solely to blame for hiving off sports in this way. We have been advancing in that direction for a while.

In time, I would imagine we will have just two or three streamers covering the major sports, and by that time, it will be cheaper for everyone.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Just throwing my two penny worth in,I'd like to see just one company showing football and not bothered if it was Sky,BT,Amazon or the Mickey Mouse channel so long as I only have to subscribe to the one!

You only have to look at Netflix of late , the quality has deteriorated as they seem to be going for quantity over quality in fact their original films on the whole are atrocious.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Yet with the lost economies of scale we now pay more to get less on multiple streaming services.

The fact many hold a simplistic view and don’t understand how markets work is irrelevant.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Surely, you get economies of scale in terms of the amount of content on the streamers. Look at the huge amount of programming on Netflix alone, and compared to Sky’s entertainment channels, it’s as cheap as chips.

I am not persuaded by the number of channels you get for your buck - many channels are full of rubbish on the whole. I look for value by considering the amount and quality of content.

---------- Post added at 19:12 ---------- Previous post was at 19:01 ----------

I don’t know what it is you are looking at to come to that conclusion. In recent weeks, we’ve seen a further series of Ozark, Bridgerton, Top Boy, The Last Kingdom and Better Call Saul. Completely new stuff includes Anatomy of a Scandal, Rescued By Ruby, Windfall, Against The Ice and Pieces of Her.

Can you point to anything like that amount of new stuff on Sky over just a few weeks?

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Not if you look at their levels of debt.

Whether you are persuaded or otherwise is irrelevant. The low cost streaming future has been shown up as a sham.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Agreed.

Apparently one issue that happens in the industry is the writers, producers of popular TV series ask for more money as the series continues. Netflix refuses to follow this approach so is ending up not renewing series as a result.

---------- Post added at 20:20 ---------- Previous post was at 20:13 ----------

It traditionally was a common complaint for pay TV but that was because people misunderstood how the negotiations between the platforms and the channels worked. VM purchased the channels on the basis that people couldn't watch every channel and so paid very little for them.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

https://www.theguardian.com/media/20...-the-new-cable

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

I did. My name is to the left of the text in my post.

You were moaning about the 'rubbish' on Netflix and I was drawing your attention to the fact that there was good stuff coming out all the time, and that it compared well with Sky - cheaper, too.

Of course there will always be programmes you don't like or rate in the ever expanding catalogue, and if you don't rate the ones I highlighted, then what on Earth do you like?

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Cheaper ???? I pay for the Now TV Entertainment pass at £4.99 with boost at £2.00 so how is Netflix cheaper ????

The HD package on Netflix is £10.99 now

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

It's over priced compared to say Prime Video or Apple TV+ is and what Paramount+ will be likely be based on prices outside the US.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

The levels of debt accrued by Netflix has arisen through the sheer number of original programming they have made available on the service. Once they are satisfied that they have a good enough library, that level of spending will inevitably decrease, and they will also find innovative ways of increasing revenue.

The 'low-cost streaming future' is not a sham at all. The price will increase, sure, but you will no longer need to pay for any TV channels to companies like VM and Sky in the future because you will get all the content you want from the streamers, and you can access them through your smart TV. No need to get a TV box at all.

I can see that as a sport-lover, you are miffed by the number of streamers you need to pay for to watch a variety of sport, but as I said earlier, the fragmentation of sports programming was already occurring on the TV channels. I suspect that over time, sport will be available on fewer streamers due to the cost, reversing that trend.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

You're essentially saying that in the future Netflix will continue to raise prices (or introduce advertising) while adding very little in the way of new content?

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

The glorious streaming future in one sentence.

---------- Post added at 13:00 ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 ----------

So all that changes is who you pay and no need for a box. Increased prices for less/lower quality content isn’t a victory for consumers in any way, shape or form.

More wishful thinking to be disproven over time. Whether I watch, or don’t watch, sports is broadly irrelevant. It’s simply the easiest way to disprove your vision of a low cost streaming future. Although general entertainment and niche programming are following suit.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Yes, but you are on a special offer. The normal price for the Now Entertainment pack is £11.99.

---------- Post added at 17:08 ---------- Previous post was at 17:07 ----------

It’s more expensive because there’s a lot more on it!

---------- Post added at 17:10 ---------- Previous post was at 17:08 ----------

They can cut the amount of new original content to the level of Prime and that will save them quite a bit. Of course they will need to keep adding to their library!

---------- Post added at 17:18 ---------- Previous post was at 17:10 ----------

That is not all that changes. For one thing, we will not have pay-tv channels in years to come, so no need to pay for them. You will not have to pay for a box or have an activation fee as you can view your streamers from your smart tv. That also means you can shop around for the best broadband deal without being tied to one company. You are not having all the streamers thrown at you if you only want to watch one, and you can change which streamer to watch pretty well when you want.

I don’t agree that the streamers provide less quality. Their dramas have made our terrestrials up their game.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Actually it’s £14.99 but that’s irrelevant as it’s so easy to get Now TV discounted to the figures I noted.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

And representative of a profitable business model - unlike Netflix.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

It does not matter to the consumer if a business is not currently making a profit. Virgin Media has been in debt most of its life since its inception, hasn’t it?

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

It wasn't to this extent and the notion that venture capital or Silicon Valley would throw money down the toilet in the way they have with streaming services is fanciful.

It has infrastructure as an underlying asset.

It does indeed matter to consumers that markets are being distorted by venture capital or Silicon Valley underwriting unsustainable losses, forcing up rights costs for viable companies. This falls to consumers to fund.

Your failure to understand that undermines your entire argument.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

No, your point is not relevant. The streamers have made much more watchable content available at low cost. That is the point, and what is important to the consumer.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

The consumers who now have to buy multiple services at higher cost than incumbent pay-tv packages?

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

The fragmentation of sport was already happening on pay TV. Sky had already split its channels in that way in preparation for any loss of rights.

Your expectation that the status quo would have been maintained had the streamers not come along is, well, fanciful.

---------- Post added at 17:49 ---------- Previous post was at 17:46 ----------

Except that they are not higher unless you opt to subscribe to a multitude of more expensive streamers.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Which of course you have to do in order to maintain the depth and breadth of content that you had before fragmentation by loss making streamers.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Nope. Streamers + terrestrials give you all the variety you need.

Again, you have failed to explain ‘breadth of content’.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Clearly not at the lowest price point - or nobody would subscribe to Sky/Virgin at all (including yourself!).

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

I was questioning what you meant by ‘breadth’ of content.

If that relates to the non premium Sky channels, I hate to be the one to tell you that 95%+ of the content on most of those are not worthy of being included in your ‘breadth of content’ definition.

The main five terrestrial channels provide that breadth, not the general entertainment pay tv channels, which really aren’t worth paying for these days.
