Funny though, when something is important it still finds a home on linear broadcast tv.
That is certainly the current state of affairs here in 2021, Chris.

I think perhaps your suggestion that there might be an Amazon dog on Channel 4’s broadcast is highly likely, and it will create an awareness that the streamer carries sport.

A nice little earner for Amazon, too.
