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

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

Sky to launch an IPTV service.

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.
It’s transitional, jfman. That’s because it’s only 2021.

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.
