The delay must be that the reserve price the Premier league set still hasn't been met yet

Taliking the uk.

They wont want to take the uk rights as there is no profit unless you also provide broadband because that is where sky and bt make their profit. The sports makes a loss but they are happy because most subscribers also get broadband from them. It's like the supermarkets used to make a loss on beer (selling it for less than it cost) but they used it to attract customers to their store where they would get other things.

Netflix etc... might get football to grow their brand, but even so it is not worth as much to them as broadband and tv sales are to bt and sky.

They could well decide to provide broadband though.

Also the mouse taking over fox (39% of sky), changes things. They have their own plans for online tv and movies. Main reason they took over fox.

I don't personally think Netflix will be a player in the TV Sports business, not live anyway.

Disney and Fox have merged and plan to build their own streaming platform, Disney is not renewing after their current deal with Netflix and will be pulling their content along with Fox from the Platform and moving it over to HULU. And I would imagine Disney/Fox will buy HULU as it will be the easiest way to compete with Netflix. If anyone has ever used HULU, which, I have in the past current network show episodes are available 24 hours later to stream on demand.

Disney will probably buy SKY to.

I wouldn't rule out Apple/Amazon either. On Apple TV you can already buy a NBA/NFL season pass in the UK for £140 each. Maybe something similar will happen with Football on Apple/Amazon.

I think in the future the difference will be people will move over to Subscriptions. Sky sell packages, a top tier package is like £1000+ for the year. But I think people will simply pick bolt on subs. I am surprised Apple have not done something like this already and developed a rival subscription TV/FILM model to that of Netflix and Amazon. I have Apple Music and it is awesome. I would happily subscribe to a FILM/TV subscription as well. I havn't watched live TV for years unless it is Sport.

Netflix is too busy making their own content eg stranger things, better call saul etc... They think that's what people want.

It all depends on the International rights.

There is big growth there and can offset a flat domestic deal.
