The cheaper TV via streaming I have been on about has really been all about drama, news and documentaries rather than sport and I acknowledge that it is a lot less clear how prices will turn out there. I think that those who like watching a range of different sports may be the ones to lose out, but it all depends on which providers pick up the most sports rights.

I see even streaming providers such as Roku are vulnerable to channel disputes.

In other words you’re only likely to “win” if you want to subscribe to a single supplier and only consume the limited content you can get there.
For those of us who have become accustomed to rich and diverse range of content from a range of content makers we will lose out in the long run.
