4) Sky sports getting la liga back (this would involve premier sports liquidating i know...)
5) Fox news to launch a linear channel so i can laugh at them (yes ive been asking this for several years now and due to the fact theyve gone off sky its very unlikely but maybe theyll try and seize it the gap left by CNN.

la liga UK rights are up in a summer of 2022 - Source Wikipedia.

Quote:
In February 2019, it was announced that Premier Sports had secured La Liga rights in the UK & Ireland, showing 4 live matches per round from matchday 25 until the end of the 2018/2019 season. Premier Sports also broadcast weekly highlights, previews and magazine shows. Leading on from this, in September, Premier Sports confirmed that they had become exclusive UK rights-holders to La Liga, starting with matchday 4 of the 2019–20 season until the end of the 2021–22 season. They added that most matches would be put on the LaLigaTV channel, which would become available to all existing Premier Sports subscribers on the Premier Player from October, and on Sky by January 2020. One match per round would be broadcast live on sister free-to-air channel FreeSports.
Also is Fox News set to launch (in all but name) with a launch of Talk TV in early 2022.

Unless, of course, it appears on Christmas Day with Discovery+ as a nice pressie from VM, ha ha.
Never say Never - Sky Sports News HD and Sky News HD did launch on New Years day 2015 due to a deal signs in summer of 2014.
