alexxxxx Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Looks like amazon have won 20 games of rights (although only over 2 gameweeks... one midweek round and one bank holiday round) for the 2019/2020 season. Will be included in amazon prime. 128 games on sky sports 52 games on bt sports and 20 games on amazon. Looking forward to watching Frank's Derby on Amazon in a couple of seasons time ?

RadioactiveWaste Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Interesting move from Amazon. I think they really do have a case of the world domination complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've built a business by sticking their nose in where it didn't belong and doing well! It's outrageous to think it started out as an online book store, now I pretty much utilise it for everything.

Day Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Remember when people moaned about having to pay for Sky Sports? Now you have to pay for Sky Sports, BT and Amazon to watch all the games. I miss the Murdoch monopoly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said it was in the consumers interest to have competition. In reality it was to give the Prem and EFL more power to jack their rights prices up! Screw us consumers!

Day Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Sky Sports PL & Sky Sports Football in SD £22pm BT Sports in SD £28pm, in HD £35pm Amazon Prime £8pm Just £72pm, or around £90 in HD. Great competition that is. Now you can get BT Sport if you’re with EE for a fiver a month but they block you from AirPlay/Chromecast unless you’re a BT Broadband subscriber. ?

Tbh I think the streams are being policed much more than they used to be 5/10 years a go. They will go the same way as the film streaming sites.. the golden age of free everything on the net is disappearing. Legal music/film/tv streaming is much easier than it used to be.

It's a bad thing really, most people don't particularly want to steal, but when you could torrent an album for nothing or buy the CD for fifteen quid it was a no brainer, but now when it's fast easy and reasonable to get it digitally most people do that.

rsmini Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 you get BT Sport free with Virgin Media, I ca even watch it on the Virgin Go App. You need to have the top Virgin package though ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Amazon Prime has the benefit of being useful for a myriad of things. I have that, so I'll watch some of the games on there. But generally, every Derby game is enough for me. There are cheap ways of getting short term access to Sky / BT sport for particularly big games, or (god forbid) other sporting events. If your hellbent on watching a lot of sport in general you probably have to get either Sky or BTSport though - which is a shame. I'd recommend finding some other interests.

GenBr Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Good - hope they or one of the other big streaming platforms manage to take the rest of the games away from the old fashioned companies like Sky as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a good way for Amazon to dip their toes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
