"In a statement BT said: "We’re changing some of our Landline, Broadband and BT Sport prices on 7 January 2018" I thought BT Sport had just recently gone up in price? At this rate BT Sport is going to be at least the same price as SKY Sports. |

So the standard non-offer price for SKY Sports is £27.50 per month plus a further £6.00 for HD. Total amount per month is £33.50. BT Sport is £25.99 per month plus a further £5.00 for HD. Total amount per month is £30.99 however with the £20.00 activation fee the total amount you'll pay over the first 12 months works out at £32.65. Less than £1 cheaper than SKY Sports. BT also charge a further £6.00 per month if you want to watch BT Sport on a second SKY box. Keep in mind though you get AMC and Boxnation with BT Sport so it might be a good deal for some. |

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
With Amazon securing exclusive tennis rights in the UK, it would seem that the next domino to fall to them could be the Football Premiership rights.
https://www.rapidtvnews.com/20171117...#axzz4yh7IbZKU However, current thinking seems to be that Amazon will not enter the game until the following bidding process in 2022. This now seems the most likely scenario, but I'm not ruling out the possibility that Amazon might surprise everybody with a bid this time around. Maybe to test the waters, they will start with one of the smaller packages. |

All seems to have gone very quiet as to when Freesports will appear on Virgin.
I have the very basic sky sub at a reduced cost - but Freesports was added, at no additional cost, to my available channels some time ago (oldest recording is 1st September) With Premier Sports having lost the NRL rights (PS is the source of Freesports programming) there won't be anything worth watching by the time Freesports appears on Virgin. |

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Will streaming be profitable though?
For instance, if a company gets a premier league package it won't be one of the all games in one round package, because they simply won't have the infrastructure to be able to film all of them in a 2-3 day period. Whatever package they bid for the cost of filming and distribution will be enormous compared with the benefits. Just how much will people pay for access to the stream? NRL (Australian rugby league) is moving to streaming of all games in 2018 - no indication of cost as yet (apart from saying an equivalent for a different sport was approx. £20pm) - NRL was on Premier Sports (£10pm) so as far as I can see there will be few people willing to pay much more than £5pm for access to the streaming. I i agine the feed will be from Australian broadcasters so apart from cost for the rights and streaming costs there can be little extra costs, but will they be able to make it pay? |

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

As far as the cost and resources required for infrastructure is concerned, I think someone has already made the point that they could rely on the filming that is organised by the Premier League itself. Until I read that, and I assume it was true, I had no idea that filming was taking place separately to that provided by Sky and BT. If true, I don't know whether the technical and professional quality is the same, but if so, it would appear that this problem is solved. If not, then clearly, the costs would be high, but if BT could do it, I'm sure that the big players, with their wads of money, can as well. If either Sky or BT lose out completely, the opportunity is already there for the incoming company to take over the infrastructure and employees (under TUPE). The biggest problem, in my view, is accessing the same number or more viewers than BT and Sky manage to now, to make this pay. Given the current position with the roll out of broadband in this country, and the slow speeds many people have to put up with, my guess is that the new player(s) will go for a combination of streaming, existing channel outlets and new ones as well. ---------- Post added at 11:20 ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 ---------- Quote:

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
If streamers are taking any of the PL packages they will need to film/broadcast and stream it themselves (or pay someone to do it for them) as these will be additional matches To those shown by Sky/BT.
This will be a considerable cost per match, which the will either have to absorb or pass on. The big question is will they expect people to subscribe for months/season or on an individual match basis. If it is on a package basis will enough people pay enough to make it viable? Will there be sky high prices for pubs/clubs? If it is on an individual basis people will be likely to only stream the big games. No disrespect intended but who would pay to stream the likes of Stoke v Burnley, whereas some might to watch Man City v Man Utd at a reasonable price. |

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
With the fact that the Premier League are making more games available the rights very well could increase overall but it will be interesting to see on a match by match basis.
Sky always paid more and funded it by passing on price increases however this luxury has now come to an end in fact they've had to lower the cost of packages. I've seen a deal knocking about some are being offered now of Sky Sports for £15 a month for 3 years. If that doesn't tell you how things are going I don't know what does. |

I predicted the gravy train may have hit the buffers some time ago in response to posts that streaming would take over. The BT/Sky agreement seems to have at least put the brakes on. I read this article twice this morning with interest. PL bosses are still talking up streamer interest despite quotes from those companies denying interest at this time. The next time PL rights come up for grabs (2021/2022) may be the time streamers try to come on board assuming PL doesn't do the obvious thing - setting up their own subscription based streams. |
Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Quote:
I think that is the most likely, not least because we are still working on getting our broadband infrastructure up to date. If the streamers won rights to the Premiership matches this time around, too any people would be unable to stream these matches to their TV sets. I think it is possible that Amazon could go for it this time, but if they do, they could decide to supplement their streaming service with some broadcast linear channels of their own. This would ensure that they had access to maximum audience share. |

If Amazon were to acquire the channel, it would plug a gap for me as it is the only channel worth having for which I cannot gain access, other than by actually subscribing also to BT TV. Although some may decry the output of AMC, there are some good films (most of 3 and 4 star quality) and original output on that channel, which compares favourably with Sky One, and without the junk. AMC is the home of Fear the Walking Dead, Breaking Bad and Mad Men, so to my mind, it is a channel worthy of note. If I could access this channel or its content through Amazon, I would be well pleased. |
