BT Sport win rights to champions league & Europa league from 2015

Until all premier league games are available on pay TV in the UK you will always need streaming sites to watch your team.

All these different subscriptions just annoy me, between sky and bt none of them even bothered to get the copa America which is on Premier Sports at a cost of £9.99

 

[tototoner]

Looks like they are jumping ship

As long as Sky don’t get the rights .

Doubt they can afford to. I'd imagine DAZN and Amazon will be keen.

I hope Amazon don't get it, from a technical standpoint they're awful.

Whoever gets any of BT's TV rights should have the full rights package for the competition. This shit where you've effectively needed three subscriptions to watch the PL has to be ended.

I'd presume if they were to bid they would need to create an Amazon Prime Sports channel which you can subscribe to separately, as they would more than likely want to charge more than the current £7.99 per month. It wouldn't be fair on those that don't watch sports (weirdo's) if they pushed up the price of Prime in general for this reason.

I hope whoever gets it just rebrands everything and uses the infrastructure they've built up over the years.

I enjoy watching games in 4K HDR and don't want anyone to fuck with that.

 

[Danfunkel]

It won’t happen sadly, but the dream would be ITV get it back again on FTA.

They only entered the market to stop Sky taking all their broadband customers. Obviously something has changed if it is true.

Would they put up the price? I don't think they would, they'd expect it to just bring millions more permanent subs further making inroads into Netflix's base

annoying really as I get BT sport for free at the moment and can't really afford to pay for sky or another thing like Amazon.

If the issue is just the CL being too expensive I hope they carry on showing the rugby at least but it doesn't sound like it.

Probably nothing.
Just the realisation that the money they are spending on games is crazy, and not profitable.

It's a shame, I was hoping TV money would implode rather than whimper out
