Exactly why I suggested that MB was wearing his rose coloured spectacles. There's no indication that contracts will be renegotiated early simply because the ownership of certain broadcasters has changed.

In the longer term, it may even result in extra costs for VM as it will be negotiating with two stronger companies as oppose to four less strong companies.
