'Crown jewel’ sporting events could go behind paywall without new law, claim BBC and ITV
TV chiefs say 'urgent changes are required' for public sector broadcasters - Paul Grover
“Crown jewel” sporting events such as the Olympics and World Cup risk going behind a paywall unless the Government presses ahead with new legislation, the bosses of BBC and ITV warn.
In a joint letter published in The Telegraph, the BBC’s director-general and ITV’s chief executive make a plea to ministers to introduce a media bill “needed to secure the future of British broadcasting and allow it to prosper”.
In the letter, Tim Davie and Carolyn McCall, the bosses at BBC and ITV respectively, warn that “urgent changes are required” if public sector broadcasters are to maintain their role as “the bedrock of great British content”.
The letter, also signed by the bosses of Channel 5, STV and S4C, reminds the Government of its commitment to introduce a new media bill almost 20 years after the last one.

They're showing the Wolves game on BT Sport 5 according to their tv schedule. Is BT Sport 5 available on VM?

okay Mystic Meg, we will keep paying through the nose for your pipe dream in the meantime. Warner/Discovery aren’t even in the premium sports market.

Fewer choices, higher prices…

Whether that’s premium sports or not is another matter. The vast, vast, vast majority of homes in the UK and Ireland that receive Eurosport do so in basic packages.
Even the over the top package at £39 a year is bargain basement compared to fledgling streamer DAZN, established linear broadcaster Premier Sports, never mind getting to the major rights holders in this country.

Viaplay have said that they will re-brand the Premier Sports channels so I assume that includes the BoxNation brand which is licenced from George Warren.
The replacement channel is more than likely to be broader than just boxing due to Premier Sports' limited live fight rights.

Other consolidations in the future may have bigger impacts. I was just pointing out that the process was underway.

And they may not, but could just simply get price gouged at a higher price point between two or three providers at higher costs. See: energy.
