No doubt some will still argue that Amazon or other streamers would never bid for premium sports rights,and they still might not, but after this, I bet they will. As I said several weeks ago, this is a test, Amazon dipping their toes in the water. If they do bid for UKTV rights in the future, then the next step after that, would be global ones as I said before.
Highlighting for the benefit of the audience the straw man.

There’re a world apart from Amazon and their bargain bucket rights, those that didn’t meet the reserve price in the first round, and going up against meaningful rights won by a Sky or BT.

December is a good month for Prime.
