It's exactly how it worked when the Premier League were forced to stop Sky getting all the UK rights.
With the entry of new broadcasters ensured to have at least 1 package of rights the cost for these packages spiralled as the competing broadcasters tried to secure as many of the packages as they could/wanted.
Prime example of competition raising prices!

Genuine free competition in which customers can choose between multiple providers without government controls getting in the way leads to lower prices.

Have to agree with you regarding genuine free competition - however it rarely works that way
