Just in case you really hadn't noticed, 2022 isn't here yet.

I have been partially correct in that Amazon did go for the least attractive, cheapest premiership offer last time around, but that can be regarded as the first toe in the water for them. Given that superfast broadband should be available in most of the country within the time frame up to 2022, there is nothing that will stop this happening, in my view.

Also OB always says 'in the future' - which of course either happens or it is still to happen so he is never wrong
Now, now, Raider, you know that's not true!

As far as the premiership rights are concerned, I have always talked about the 2018 and 2022 bids.

The linear TV opinion I first expressed in 2015, so I am sure your calculation of the forecast period will be the same as mine. Look at the posts for yourself and you will see that I am right. I would also repeat that in this last year, the BBC has stated that it is planning for the demise of its scheduled channels during the period following the next licence review, so my previous lone voice now finds itself in good company.
