Got it in one, pip. Sky has form.

True, but that's where competition comes in and sooner or later, competition will bring those prices down.

That is a very inflexible approach. There are opportunities to provide 'skinny' bundles of selected matches over the year at a reduced price which would attract more customers, enable other TV channels to purchase non-exclusive rights to a limited number of selected games, etc. It is not just a stark case of 15 quid a month for 8.3 million subscribers. You haven't even added income from advertisements into that figure.
As far as Amazon is concerned, because Prime is linked to their retail operation, it is quite possible that they may be happy to simply break even if it brought in more customers for their central business.

Many years ago sky had a 'Prem Plus' package - £50pa as I recall, which gave an additional game each round.
There was talk of a season ticket that gave you all of your selected teams matches - this never materialised, not sure why.
I think the £15pm for 8.3 million subs gives an indication what any streamer is up against - yes it doesn't include advertising income but also doesn't include production & broadcasting costs or any profit.

I am sure they will, unless they are forced to do otherwise.
