Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)

Can someone do the calculations on how Netflix/Amazon etc return a profit to cover the costs of £1.5bn a year for UK Premiership rights? Until then I’m bored of hearing about it.

Similarly the end of linear TV can someone do calculations for the point it ceases to be effective for a major rights holder (Sky) to cease linear in favour of a 100% streaming solution. Bear in mind bandwidth is so cheap Sky broadcast the movie Groundhog Day fourteen times in succession on February 2nd/3rd and hundreds of channels broadcast to tiny audiences.

Without either of these meaningful calculations it’s baseless speculation.
