I'll continue to await the calculation on how a streamer raises and turns a profit on £5bn for Premiership football rights. I'm sure you'll tell me these people are geniuses, of course, but it was Sky who correctly predicted that none of them would enter the market for the first round of bids in 2019-22 and that the rights would go down in value.

What changes in 2022-25, other than the recession? If BT are right that the value of rights falls what makes Sky with it's customer base in place from day 1 less well placed than a streamer?
I could explain the reasoning, jfman, but the problem is that you are not listening. So why bother going to any lengths to explain to someone who appears to be brainwashed into believing that any alternative opinion to yours must be vanquished at all costs?

SVOD and streaming IS the future, no matter what you believe and no matter what you say. Most people, I am pretty sure, agree with that.
