I doubt he has one, unless he’s found a standalone unit that uses valves.

“Deep pockets” DAZN have burned through another $2bn in losses in their latest financials.

For every dollar they earn they are spending two.

Whilst it is hard to make money in sports TV unless you are using it as a loss-leader to sell something else (eg BT Sport was loss-making) these losses are on another scale!

Three red flags in particular:
- Postponement of IPO.
- Having to still pay compenation for poor user experience in Italy.
- The comments from the new Chief Executive
Quote:
“It’s clearly not great to lose $1.3bn. But on the other hand, it’s a journey,” DAZN Group chief executive Shay Segev told SportBusiness. “This is probably one of the necessary milestones on this journey. “I arrived after billions had already been invested in DAZN, and there is already an established infrastructure that will allow the business to go to its next phase. This money has gone toward a good purpose: to build the platform we currently have.”

More detail, and less spin here.

Outsourcing of jobs. Another victory for failed government macroeconomic policies.

So offshoring of jobs to India and Bulgaria. Sounds like Comcast is stamping its mark on Sky.

A shame for those staff working in Belfast, Derby and Derry. Those parts of the UK are some of our less economically less successful areas.

’As broadcasters turn to streaming, Sky satellite viewers will lose four more channels, with classic movie channel TCM also closing down on other platforms’.

The beginning of the end for TV channels? Surely not?

Not at least according to the prevailing opinion on the Cable Forum.

And yet, future sh** happens!

The beginning of the end for TV channels? Surely not?

Not at least according to the real world…

And yet, present Johnson happens!

Ofcom is only issuing licences to broadcast until 2034. Join the dots.

All those precious licenses have expired and got renewed. A time limit on a licence isn’t indicative of anything other than in your dreams OB.
