What do we think 2021 will bring? I'm going for:
1) That right wing news channel will launch but wont be as funny as Fox News due to UK Broadcasting laws
2) Sky Atlantic will finally appear on Virgin Media because no one really wants it anymore and there really isnt anything that good on it anymore.
3) All the city channels will go bankrupt and go off air as regional channels dont work in the UK....they work in America because ......its a lot, lot bigger...
4) The new premier league deals for 2022 onwards are awarded. Sky and BT keep their packages at roughly the same level but Amazon take another package as more games are removed from 3pm and shunted across two blocks of saturday evening games and 3 blocks of sunday evening games.
5) European rights are up in the air for germany and italy and sky and BT don't bid for them even though they put their prices up
6) No further apps arrive on virgin media and the confusion about the horizon interface on tivo v6s is still not confirmed.
Whats everyone elses predictions for "coming soon...."?

I mostly agree with you, Vince. However, I think DAZN will pounce on increasing numbers of major UK sporting rights, especially with their launch earlier this month.
