Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
With the U.K. Rights to top flight foreign football leagues forever moving from 1 broadcaster to another almost every time they are up for renewal it is evident that not many people are interested in watching foreign football.
I wonder if the rights change as often in each leagues home country?
It seems to be a race to the bottom.

La Liga was on Sky for almost 20 years. The Bundesliga on BT for 8.
If you remove Eleven Sports getting too big for their boots and collapsing as there was no space for a purely sports streaming service without a linear presence you’ll find the rights are generally quite stable.
The popularity (or otherwise) is equally irrelevant to the 3pm blackout being a protectionist racket.
Each leagues home country gets more interesting - sometimes due to the regulations imposed to increase competition. However in Germany Sky (and Premiere before it) have had the primary coverage of the Bundesliga since the analogue satellite days.

Yes, it's been a bit of a mess in France and the league has lost big time by gambling with Mediapro who threw in the towel leaving Amazon to pick up 80% of the rights for relative peanuts. Not sure how that leaves their financial fair play rules and Messi being signed to PSG working out.
And how DAZN will get on with Serie A in Italy remains to be seen...

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Virgin Media are rumoured to be looking to step into the sports market in UK.
BT Sport set to become Virgin Media Sports???
If I know Virgin Media it will be something like them being an sponsor of an sport event - like "The Virgin Media Scottish Cup".

#QuietNewsMonth. I think your sources are getting a bit bored and are just throwing things out there this month.

It didn't use to be this way but I think you're right. Most launches are of streaming services and they tend to be launched on VM or not launched on VM; there aren't the subtleties of individual channels launching so much now.

I wasn't going back that far - in the last few years things are moving platforms far more often.
I suspect this is because those leagues are trying to get more money from UK rights in an effort to catch up with the Premier League.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Coming soon - profitability!
A good article worth reading.
Quote:
The boss of sports streaming service DAZN has told the BBC that the platform will expand to introduce "things like wagering, betting, fantasy and commerce".
Chief executive James Rushton says it will become "a sports destination platform" over the next 12 months and that profitability for the loss-making company is coming "in the near future".
New services could help by boosting subscriber numbers.
Analysts have questioned how the company will recoup the billions of dollars it has spent globally on sports rights.
The BBC understands that about 15 million people around the world have now subscribed to the internet service, which is trying to disrupt the TV sports industry worldwide.
|
Notable that Chief executive James Rushton mentions the financial savings from being an online operation which are then demolished.
Quote:
Francois Goddard, a media analyst at Enders Analysis, believes those savings are limited. He points out that in Spain, DAZN content is also available via "traditional linear channels".
"Look at the price of satellite channels today, it's no big savings, and online video is expensive because you need servers everywhere," he says.
This is a particular issue for sport because it is live and "everybody's watching at the same time", which increases the demand on the servers that are essential to relaying the live pictures into people's homes.

You can watch James Rushton's full interview on "Talking Business with Aaron Heslehurst" on BBC World News at 16:30 GMT on Monday, 12:30 GMT on Tuesday and 07:30 GMT on Thursday.

Profitability by becoming a betting app. An interesting step in vertical integration that I’m sure will please everyone.

BT Sport close to Ashes renewal
BT Sport is reportedly set to be the UK broadcaster for the Ashes series this winter.
The broadcaster paid Cricket Australia £80 million for the rights to Australia’s home internationals and the Big Bash between 2016-21, and the Daily Mail claims that it is set to renew this agreement.
