Once again, and as I explained earlier, 2025 related to broadband coverage, not the demise of scheduled linear channels. Do wake up, Den.

Certainly you fell for the reports, presumably leaked by the League to drive up prices, that Amazon were expressing a high level of interest. I wouldn't describe not bidding more than the publicly available 2016-19 bids as a high level of interest, but each to their own.

I said this round or the next round. Accordingly, it is too early to come to the conclusion you have made.

Amazon's high level of interest would have prompted them to bid for the 'bargain basement rights' to test it out.

To keep their streaming services up to date. Nothing wrong with that.
