From the article in the link.
Wolff says ESPN is happy for Sky to be the senior partner in the UK. "There will be markets where we bid against each other; there are other territories where we will not. You could have a very good second position in a market if that's the best business model you can build at that time." He adds: "We have a complex, multifaceted relationship with Sky [but] complex relationships aren't new to us. We just have to manage that."
Now does that sound like a company that is going to bid against SKY for major sporting rights in the uk. |
But it would be good for competition if someone took Sky on.
