Cable Forum - General ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

The really big story is that DAZN may offer Premier League matches soon, with their interest in BT Sport.

Those who don’t like the idea of footie streaming can take comfort in the knowledge that DAZN would also offer a linear broadcast channel, at least in the short to medium term.

All of which points to the increased streaming of Premiership football matches.

Who would have thought it?

Can I ask where you got that info from, please, as there’s nothing related to that in the linked article?

All of the games broadcast in the UK are streamed live by Sky, BT and Amazon on apps.

You literally can’t get more than 100%.

It's hilarious isn't it , he genuinely thinks it's something ground breaking when Sky have been streaming games on Sky Go and Now TV for ages and BT via the excellent BT Sport app.

Indeed.

It’s the pop shots that are the highlights for me though as if we are somehow fundamentalists.

None of us feel that strongly with the exception of OB and his perverse view that linear, broadcast television must end.

It’s not lost on me. I thought, from your posts, it was lost on you guys.

I trust that you are not, in all seriousness, denying that you have been, let’s be fair, sceptical, that streamers would bid for the Premiership rights?

You lot do make me laugh!

I’m not sure how buying a stake in a linear channel proves otherwise.

Nothing in that article, but this is what they have done in Germany. It would make complete sense to do that here as well in the circumstances. It's too early to go streaming only.

What I’ve been saying all along. An exclusively streaming service can’t establish the critical mass required for a sustainable business model.

A linear presence in addition to streaming - essentially the status quo - is a much more desirable proposition.

My Sources are now saying that DAZN are leading the bidding race to buy BT Sport.
