You cannot disregard what he is saying. IMO the bubble has burst or is very close to doing so.
From what I have read BT are going to have to do something pretty radical to get people to watch Champions league the figures have been dier. UEFA took the money and sacrificed the product, I cannot see them making the same mistake twice.

Since leaving BT I kid you not they have rang me at least 4 times trying to offer me new deals each time I've politely declined. The football costs are way over the top and are now pushing the pay TV costs up for all in my opinion.

Have a read of this , this illustrates the increase in Sky's costs but the same goes for all providers with there constant hikes.

I think I have said before but my costs for VM are lower now than 5 years ago. The cost reduction is coming from my Sky Spts sub as each time I have phoned up there always seems a deal.

Discounts on Sky don't necessarily mean that Sports rights are suddenly going to come down as have you seen any proof of that AB?.

We have provided many links and reasons why we believe the sharp increases we've seen over the last few football rights won't continue please enlighten us to why you believe it will.

But what it does prove is that customers are not prepared to pay the full amount of subscribing to Sky Sports. I doubt Sky will wish to underwrite this for the next EPL deal.
If they do that's fine as I will not be paying full price.

You forget Sky and BT are bitter enemies in the marketplace and their main aim is to win customers from each other and if that means not being outbid for important sports rights and one is not going to see any one of them suddenly roll over and let the other one take important sports rights unless you think otherwise AB?.

That's fine if they want to drive each over a cliff, I just don't see that people will keep paying as we have already shown. It will just become uneconomic for both BT and Sky to pay more than they can recover. Have a look at this https://www.bloomberg.com/gadfly/art...its-grip-on-tv

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 
The cost of football rights has I believe reached saturation point and more and more people are saying enough is enough and are either staying with paying for sky sports/bt sports because they get a discount like me,or like many of my friends and work colleagues get a dodgy box (not endorsing that route mods).
The trouble is sports rights in general still attract customers and sky and bt are in competition against each other and don`t want to loose out to each other. I don`t know what the answer is.

In the end, Sky and BT will have to accept that there is a limit to what even the most ardent sports fanatics are prepared to pay. Certainly, Sky seem to appreciate this and I think they will pitch their bids lower next time around.

Neither Sky nor BT want to lose their share of the audience for their sports channels, but that desire will be tempered by their ability to make a profit. if the number of subscribers diminishes as a result of the high costs charged, both parties will have to think long and hard about their strategy.

I do think that the number of deals being offered by Sky at present is indicative of their realisation that without them, the number of paying subscribers to Sky Sports will diminish substantially.

The bidding process next time around will be very interesting.

No decision has been reported as far as I know, but it is obvious that this cannot go on, Den, as indicated in the link I posted on the previous page of this thread.

People haven't got bottomless pockets. One thing that could happen next time, and this is speculative, is that BT may seek to take advantage of any indication that Sky would pay less to put in a one-off high bid as a loss leader to grab majority sports rights from Sky.

That is not as daft as it seems. Sky are reported to have indicated already that they are not prepared to keep bidding higher for sports rights regardless of the consequences. The only question now is, have we reached that point yet? Let's see what happens...

The problem is neither sky nor bt want to loose the premier league rights and will bid whatever they think necessary to keep at least some of them. The danger for both of them is they both bid low and another provider comes in and scoops the lot!

Your own example from The Independent, observed:

'But there are recent signs the UK market is slowing down, with viewing figures 12 per cent lower than last year, increasing the importance of overseas markets. Sky chief executive Jeremy Darroch said the latest rights deal was close to the limit of what broadcasters would pay.'

Your opinion appears to be based purely on past events, and you have been telling me over and over that my view of the future cannot be right because that is not happening now.

However, any successful businessman will tell you that no matter how successful you are, if you are not alert to signs of change and you do not adapt to them quickly, you could be caught out big time.

Sky are already investing more in drama in an effort to future proof themselves from a shift in viewing patterns away from sport.

I think that more people now are prepared to believe my vision of on demand viewing taking over and rendering our linear channels unviable than there were only a year ago, as evidence mounts of increasing numbers watching TV via non conventional methods.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 
Nobody has said that it as however you are looking at profits across the whole business.

With fewer people electing to take Sport and some of those that are receiving lengthy half price discounts where do you think the extra money comes from ?

Presumably higher prices for non Sports fans and customers of other products , with cheap entertainment alternatives can the likes of Sky and BT afford to increase base tv packs much further?

That would certainly be preferable , however just to correct you I think it was actually said that many of us didn't believe we'd see the sharp increases as with previous rights.

The deal could very well net more but in what form ?

If Sky was to win and pay more than BT currently do how much do you forsee a Sky Sports sub costing ?

There are other options like so many games being offered to a FTA broadcaster a tie up between a FTA broadcaster and a pay broadcaster. The article also mentions possible pan European deal or global basis let's wait and see.

Den trust me I get equally as many things wrong. My beliefs are just based on the fact I believe Sports rights cannot continue to increase at the rate they have been in my opinion everyone has a limit of what represents value for money to them. We will see.

Sky prepares for push into film production

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/...lm-production/

Clearly trying to make its offering less reliant on Sport ?

I was thinking maybe to make its offering less reliant on HBO in case the latter decides to set up its own channels/service. The only exclusive content is content that you commission yourself.

You could say that but remember Sport has been Sky's mighty financial driver of subscriptions for over 20 years now and without it they might find themselves up the creek without a paddle quicker then one can imagine but personally l cannot see that happening anytime soon.

And most of Sky's own exclusive commissions have failed to get decent audiences on the scale of the GOT and other HBO content.

Therein lies the dilemma. Sky's dependency here gives HBO more leverage in negotiations. The balance of power would be tipped in Sky's favour if its own content secured GoT-like viewing figures. Maybe the combination with Fox will help facilitate this too.

Only HBO will know when that time is right on Sky's most recent deal I've worked out HBO would need north of 450,000 subscribers to equal what Sky is paying them. In that working I haven't allowed for extra costs such as marketing , subscription billing and the cost of running it's own streaming service. As an estimate I'd say they'd need at least north of a million paying customers on a subscription of £10 a month.

Looking at the wages of neville, owen, carragher, henry etc and the price i pay each month for sky sports going towards this...one wonders if we can "opt out" of grinning pundits in the future.

£25 for sky sports with the expensive wages of the cliche "MNF/Super sunday LADZ"
XL package needed for BT sports and the expensive wages for the awful punditry of BT sports at pitch side.

OR

Ten quid off the bill for everything if you just want football coverage. No expensive pundits. Their wage bill taken off for good. At half time you're just greeted with a black screen until the game finishes.

I'd sign up for the latter.

That's right, Den, but you will be aware of the growing resistence to price rises in relation to the cost of sport. If higher bids result in higher prices on a regular basis, the law of diminishing returns start to kick in, and then sport will no longer be the mighty financial driver it once was.

BT Sport subscribers with Sky, BT TV, TalkTalk, or who access BT Sport via the app will gain access to Boxing channel BoxNation from 24th February 2017.

The tie-up between the two broadcasters was first announced last year, but since then further details alongside the launch date have become available. While BT Sport subscribers using BT's and TalkTalk's YouView-based TV services or using Sky will benefit, Virgin Media customers with BT Sport are excluded.

Anyone with the BT Sport Pack will get BoxNation for free from 24th February 2017, although BoxNation's pay-per-view events won't be included, according to BT. HD pack customers will gain free access to BoxNation in high definition. BT Sport Lite Pack customers will need to upgrade to the full BT Sport pack to gain access to BoxNation.

The launch coincides with an evening of boxing including Boy Jones Jnr v Craig Poxton and Jay Harris v Thomas Essomba from Bethanal Green.

As part of the deal between BoxNation and BT Sport, Saturday night Fight Nights will also feature on the BT Sport channels.

As announced on Friday, BT will start charging all BT TV customers for BT Sport from 1st August 2017. This affects those watching in standard definition, as HD and UHD customers already pay a premium for BT Sport in high and ultra high definition formats. BT is increasing the monthly subscription charge for those accessing BT Sport via Sky from the same date. However, BT says the deal with BoxNation means viewers who previously subscribed to both services separately will save £144 a year.

When do SKY usually put up the price of SKY Sports?

Noticed something on my SKY account. I don't currently have SKY Sports but can add it for half price anytime I want due to the deal I have with SKY. The price currently being shown for SKY Sports on my account is £31.50 going down to £15.75 per month when my discount is applied. This is strange as all the other parts of SKY's website is showing the price as £27.50 per month.

This is not the first time I've seen this kind of thing. It has in the past reflected upcoming price increases. I suspect SKY Sports will be going up by £4.00 per month in the very near future.

Liverpool’s outgoing CEO said a threatened break-up of the Premier League’s collective broadcasting deal “is still being debated” in the boardrooms of leading clubs despite the current model generating more than £10bn between 2016-19. The admission will alarm other top-flight clubs, who share the spoils of collective selling at home and overseas, and critics who argue the competitiveness of the Premier League is what makes it the most lucrative in the world.

I would like to see all Premier League matches televised live, and distributed more widely to pay TV and the terrestrials. Unfortunately, if the clubs sell rights to their matches individually, I have a sneaking suspicion that prices will go up still further!

Agree with you mate. The top clubs like Man UTD,Man City,Arsenal,Chelsea etc would be able to demand and get hughe tv fees but smaller clubs such as mine Middlesbrough would really struggle,especially if they put on the sort of dreary defensive performance seen against Spurs at the weekend!
