Re: The future of television
DAZN is interested in taking over BT Sport.
Who would have thought it?

It all seems to point to increased streaming of the EPL matches. This won’t please the diehards.

As has already been pointed out every EPL game is already streamed via Sky Go , Now TV and the BT Sport app.

Re: The future of television
It seems that the truth is dawning, then. Good to know.

Re: The future of television
I’m not really sure how DAZN bidding for a stake in BT Sport (or even all of it) equates to any “truth”.
The truth would be that almost all of their customers on day 1 would be watching on linear, broadcast channels. I don’t see them closing that down on day 2 to suit the illogical dreams of you, OB.

Re: The future of television
DAZN is a streaming company. If they do take over BT Sport, then they will want to bid for the Premiership rights - that was my point.
I agree that DAZN will initially offer a broadcast linear channel in all probability, but they are basically a streaming business.

Re: The future of television
Seems a lot of supposition and rhetoric flying about based on the word "possibly"…

Yet in doing so they’d also resign themselves to the fact that their existing streaming business couldn’t develop a business case to bid for the rights (against BT, Sky and possibly others).
They won’t offer a linear channel “in all probability”. They would certainly do so because that’s what makes buying BT Sport more attractive than bidding for the rights themselves - the existing contracts and customer base.

Re: The future of television
While OB relies heavily on the word possibly and twists DAZN’s potential to invest billions in a linear television let’s consider other news articles that have happened recently.
https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.ph...his-month.html
Sky to launch an IPTV service.
https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.ph...duct-soon.html
Virgin to launch an IPTV service.
Glorious hybrids of linear and on demand being made available to millions more homes and a very welcome development.

You’d only complain if I said it will happen.

No, they would offer the ‘linear’ broadcast channel due to the current level of broadband penetration. That makes absolute sense.

Oh, and it costs billions to invest in a linear broadcast channel now, does it? Not long ago, you said it cost buttons to do so. I really hadn’t appreciated inflation was that out of control.
