Oddly enough it was OB who engaged with my post this morning. Not the other way round.
I don't think it's an unreasonable point to make that these rights didn't meet the reserve price, and there's an element of desperation on the part of the Premier League to get a new player into the market as Sky/BT clearly aren't going to bid much higher in the current market state.
Prime, which I subscribe to all year round, in December between free trials and even at £7.99 represents good value.
However even with millions of subscribers at that rate that's not going to add up to a £5bn bid in future for the rest of the rights.
How to get maybe 4 million people to pay in the region of £40 a month gets into the ballpark. Significantly more than Sky Sports on Now TV which frequently has deals.
