Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Ampere Analysis report that in the next EPL bidding process due to commence, Sky and BT will remain the main bidders, with Amazon and/or Liberty Global going for the smaller packages available this time around. This is the first time I've read Liberty Global being mentioned.

The most likely scenario for the analyst is that Sky takes four or five of the seven new packages made available while BT takes two or three and another bidder - for example most likely Amazon or Liberty - takes one or two. "Unlike the bidding for the 2017 to 2019 rights, life is now very much less certain. What has changed is the very real threat that Amazon will look to take at least some of the UK and later on, international rights," said Ampere Analysis research director Guy Bisson. "At the same time, domestically, Sky and BT's appetite to increase spend in line with the previous rates of inflation may have waned. The inflationary pressure will be focused on international rights and will be driven by the threat from Amazon and other potential new entrants."
