Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
I notice the Eurosport 4K service in all its HDR glory is only 2.0 stereo
Meanwhile the HD service is in surround
One step forward and two steps back, bizarre.

Seem to recall these sentiments being expressed before the start of last season.
With only 3 weeks to the new season start, I wouldn't hold your breath

BT maybe looking to sell BT Sport to an other Sport broadcaster now it look like no one wants share in the business.
Premier Sports may takeover due to BT Sport having an working relationship with Premier Sports due to BT Sport workers being use for Premier Sports Cup and the Scottlsh Cup games and all shows are made by BT Sport.
But saying that Disney have an deal with BT Sport for them to use the ESPN brand on BT Sport ESPN.
So Premier Sports or ESPN may take over BT Sport.
After all BT Sport did buy all the rights from ESPN in 2013 when launching BT Sport.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
I would have thought it would have gone either to Disney or DAZN.
In the US, there are three strands attached to Disney+, one of which is sport. This would be a good means of Disney getting into the UK market with its sports strand, together with ESPN content.
If DAZN is intent on making an impression on the UK market in setting up a streaming service, it could do worse than diving into this opportunity.
I don’t think Premier Sport will go for this. Too risky, I suspect..

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
I think Disney will go for BT Sport and have ESPN relaunched as linear channels and part of Disney+
ESPN 1
ESPN 2
ESPN America
Hopefully as an extra relaunch ESPN Classic

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
do we have a list of where leagues are currently? from what i can gather:
Sky sports- Premier League, Football League, Bundesliga
BT Sport- Premier league, Champions League, Europa League, Europa Conference, Ligue 1(?)
Premier Sport- Serie A and La Liga.
I'm not sure where the Portuguese, dutch or belgium or MLS are these days.
I know the russian league is on Bet365 haha

I think BT still has the rights to Ligue 1. Seria A is currently up for grabs. The deal with Premier Sports has expired.
Will be interesting to see where Seria A ends up. For me personally these European leagues are nothing but filler. Eleven Sports threw tons of cash at these leagues a few years ago only to learn Brits don't want to watch continental football via stream. Pretty much killed the companies UK ambitions stone dead within 6 months.
Can't see Sky or BT bidding. Premier Sports might try to renew on the cheap. Smells like something Amazon will pick up for little cost due to lack of interest from the conventional broadcasters. Gives them something to chirp about. Another "Victory" for the streamers.
