I doubt they would - they have lists rights to sports in the past few years (premiership rugby union, la liga football to name but 2) but the normal cost to the customer has never gone down.

True footie fans will follow the football, Raider.

Plenty of rerun filler on every streaming service I have. The delivery method is different but the principle the same. It's only television.
They'd need - like any rational consumer - to decide if it's worth the additional cost. I agree the vast majority would - but when you're seeking to return profits on £5bn you need almost them all. That would depend on the pricing point.

Maybe so, but we are talking about a football service here, not a general entertainment service. No need to show anything but football and no need to fill the schedules. If only one football match is played, only one football service will be added. If none are played, no extra content at all on that day.
As for consumers, I have already explained why I believe Amazon would charge less than Sky do for football. Cheaper, more limited tiers will add to the revenue by bringing in those football lovers who cannot afford Sky prices.

To some extent yes, but having driven the price up this is inhibits the ability or a new entrant to extract 100% of the revenues Sky can without a content portfolio.

We have already seen that Sky and BT are both likely to bid less, not more, next time. |
