I agree that DAZN will initially offer a broadcast linear channel in all probability, but they are basically a streaming business.

Yet in doing so they’d also resign themselves to the fact that their existing streaming business couldn’t develop a business case to bid for the rights (against BT, Sky and possibly others).
They won’t offer a linear channel “in all probability”. They would certainly do so because that’s what makes buying BT Sport more attractive than bidding for the rights themselves - the existing contracts and customer base.
