The longer they stay in the market they drive up content costs for consumers, businesses with viable business models and even the free to air market. There’s nothing, absolutely nothing, desirable about that.
So you think that the non-sports streamers are costlier than Sky? I don’t buy that, although it’s true that if you subscribe to them all at the same time, that is more expensive.

As for sports, it is most certainly a problem that these are scattered over so many streamers, but I do expect there will be consolidation over time.

Incidentally, the inroads into football are showing no signs of abating.

[EXTRACT]

The agreement with UEFA will see Viaplay replace Sky Sports as the exclusive UK home of European qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup 2026, Euro 2028 and the Nations League from 2024 to 2027, in addition to international friendlies.


Viaplay also gains the rights from Sky to all of those competitions involving other European national teams, apart from England but including the likes of France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Germany and Spain.
