Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Streaming fans should look away now.
It will be interesting to see the split of rights between ITV and BBC.

PSBs retain rights to Six Nations rugby
A new deal that will keep Six Nations rugby on BBC and ITV is expected to be announced in the next few days.
It had been anticipated the annual tournament would go to pay-TV after private equity firm CVC bought a 14% stake for £365 million. Amazon, Sky Sports and BT Sport were seen as the most likely bidders.
The Daily Telegraph reported Wednesday the new deal would cost the two Public Service Broadcasters (PSBs) between £90 million currently being paid and £150 million that had been previously reported.
