You talk a good game, OB, but so does everyone who calls their post-match local radio phone-in at 6 o’clock on a Saturday evening.
I’m not even convinced he personally finds it convenient.

It was an edgy call in 2014, pushed back at least once, he’s desperately keen to avoid extending once more.
Thus the onus is on Sky, Virgin, etc - the multimillion dollar companies you reference - to “make it work”.
