I have a feeling they are going to challenge the Sports Channel model. Rather than Sky Sports and BT Sport producing premium channels with mostly exclusive content I see Eurosport having a different model.
Keep the core sport offering on their widely distributed subscription channels with some exclusive rights put most shared with FTA. The focus of Eurosport being marketing their premium add ons such as multi-screen via Eurosport Player and 4K.
So one day you may have the core Olympic events on the BBC but have the option to pay extra if you want the premium Olympic experience of it in 4K and multi-screen access for all events. In that way I can see them also bidding for non exclusive rights to other sports such as the Fifa World Cup etc.. I'm sure this is partly behind their strategy for getting their foot in the door with Wimbledon.
Maybe I'm over thinking it. Slow day at work  |
Interesting thoughts. Question is whether LGI's relationship with Discovery Group is sufficient to ensure that VM will get all possible Eurosport content or whether Eurosport will keep it to its Eurosport app. People say the two have a strong connection and Malone has stakes in both companies, but they do have separate sets of shareholders to satisfy.
Maybe the discounted Eurosport app suggestion is the way forward for Eurosport which may give up its channel spots eventually and become app-only.

Well spotted, more steps albeit tiny ones, in the right direction.
