Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

I don't want more streamers Old Boy, but the fact that Apple has the Foundation series rights with several more big names in the works, shows they intend to be a major player in the media world.

It's already too expensive now. It used to be just Sky, then BT and other channels and now streamers too...

I don't know if you have Amazon Prime or not, but over the last year they have shown live tennis and American football from America, boxing, snooker, motor car racing and perhaps a few others.

What they've shown would not be considered major for a UK audience, but Amazon are testing the waters and don't forget they've picked up a new batch of premier league rights that was offered at the last football rights auction:
