Guess you must know more than a very experienced streaming service then?
They've been going for 4 years and continue to grow, i'm pretty sure they know a lot more about how to run a streaming service than a bunch of people on a forum.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

ESPN's estimated value is around $28 billion and they were not here long.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Bigger than Comcast ($193 billion Market Cap) ?

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

We have seen it all before ESPN failed in the UK market and they are far bigger than DAZN.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Speaking of Comcast it wouldn't surprise me if they launched a NBCsports gold type of service in UK.

ESPN didn't fail they decided to licence their brand to BT, they just saw sense.

Well ESPN hasn't been flying well for awhile tbf.
Ultimately it is us the consumer that will lose out as more streaming/sports services = more money to shell out and i will admit there will come a point people will say "enough is enough"

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Sense being that they had failed to gain a foothold in the UK sports rights market?

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Call it what you like ,but they could not make it work in this market. So backed out!

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Permit me to once again bang the economics drum and question the business model. :D

Indeed. It was a managed entrance (picking up cheap ex-Setanta rights) and a managed exit. Sure, they didn’t implode, but they didn’t have a viable business model either once they lost PL rights.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I can't see Dazn or Amazon or Disney plus taking the lions share of any major football rights but I suspect we will see a change in how some rights will be sold. I have gut feeling the Premier League will create a new package of 24 games exclusive to online streaming. I can see Uefa doing the same with a new package of champions league rights and Europa League rights for streaming only. 1 game per week from each competition. Rights holders want to create competition for their rights. It's pretty much how Amazon got their foot in the door. I can see Dazn or Amazon sitting with nearly 50 live games per season on the cheap with Sky and BT still able to show the same amount of games. Would not surprise me if Dazn snap up the Six Nations

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Disney plus will be on SKYQ from launch and on Now TV soon after according to reports today. Disney has also confirmed The Simpsons will be on Disney plus in the UK. Wonder what Sky got out of the deal to allow access to the Simpsons

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Agreed and a very good offer it is , only snag for some is the content is more predominantly aimed at children.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

That's right, but Sky appears not to have reached an agreement on exclusivity, and there is no confirmation as yet of the integration of the service on Sky's platform that was mooted originally.

No news yet on Disney's launch on Virgin Media at launch.
