maverick1200 2,987 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Looks like BT is in talks with Amazon, Disney and others to offload a stake in its television arm. It's a shame Sky's stranglehold on football will continue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maverick1200 2,987 Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 I can't believe the Premier League don't go the Netflix way and have their own app. They would clean up, be able to reduce the cost to the consumer and make far more.

Can’t say I ever come away from any game thinking I love the coverage I just watched.

What annoys me is the layout of the menus on Amazon prime, but easily the worst of the lot in terms of user menus is Disney+. It’s turned into a great streaming service in terms of what you can watch for the money you pay, but the actual menu is utter shite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t bring up shit that you can’t stream there and then imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky have just lost Matchroom boxing coverage and PPVs to DAZN and the Premier League are now lobbying the government, so broadcasters no longer have bidding rights to their content, so they can choose who they want to see all their rights to.

esquire8 45,152 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 BT are just keeping one step ahead of the game. Clearly Amazon and DAZN are going to steamroll every sector of sport in the very near future. Getting out now and make a bit of money from their current contracts seems the sensible thing. Only thing will be how long Sky decide to try stay in the game. The Premier League want to roll over the current terms for the next 3 year deal but with BT out the game it looks like they are clutching at very fine straws.

What I found interesting is that the cost per game has gone down. The Premier League wanted the same terms last time but had to offer 20 games extra a season to achieve it. Sky will try everything I think to stay in the game. Their whole business model is set around the football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
