Met Stephen Kenny, Tommy Barrett and Kenny Shiels at the Limerick vs Dundalk game last night. Had a good long chat with Stephen and I was pleasantly surprised to see that Kenny was a sound ol' skin! Stephen Bradley was there too but I never got to him.

Amazon has just moved into the world of Sports streaming after winning the rights to US Open Tennis for the next 5 years for the UK and Ireland starting next year.

It will be on Prime Video alongside movies and tv shows and not a separate streaming service.

Sky have now lost all it's Tennis rights and won't show any for the first time since 1991 once Amazon take this.

How many watch Tennis though?

My thoughts exactly

Agent Coulson

It's the start thought the next football rights don't come up for 3 years so they are starting to build that platform.


And Prime Video is only €2.99 a month.

DM_7

At that price they would need something like 42 million subscibers in the UK and Ireland to break even on the 4.5 billion deal last agreed.

Amazon might be okay with losing money on the NFL or NBA but the premier league rights in UK and Ireland? I dont see it. International rights would be worth it to them maybe.

Agent Coulson

Of course that wouldn't be the price if they get the football what they are doing is getting into the streaming sport business before Sky and BT and Netflix etc giving them a head start when the customer who already streams the content illegally might just be willing to pay for a streaming service.


Cord cutting is the future.

Very scary to see someone ur own age pass away so suddenly

His music was not my cup of tea but he was talented no doubt and 'wake me up' is a great song

I imagine the drink and drugs associated with that kind of genre of and in that kind of scene is not pretty

if I wear one of my Daniel Bryan t-shirts in public I'll give people the wrong idea esp with the repeal election going on lol

Gas showing up to the polling station wearing one of the yes yes yes or no no no Daniel Bryan shirts not realising it

DM_7

All the posters re a referendum should be banned. The ones with the most money should not get advantage just because they saturate your environment.

Should be just banned in general, if you need a sign on a poll to help you make up your mind then should you really be voting

I actually did this for the same sex marriage vote

Lord TSC

Ha, I hadn't realize the fun I can have with that shirt. Could they not get pissy about showing up to vote in a YES shirt, like from campaign laws and stuff?

Not on your person, but broadcasting it depends - the radio station where I worked you had to either give STRICT equal time to both sides, or steer clear of it entirely. Referendum day just announce that it's happening and don't say "yes" or "no" at all.

CastorTroy

But then how do you play the Yes/No game some stations do?

CastorTroy

And now I read that Verne Troyer has died. Mostly know for his role as Mini-Me

They probably got into shít for it and they wouldn't try it if it was around contract renewal time with the BAI! It also depends on who's funding it how cheeky they'd get. Afaik everyone's still under the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, even private/independent stations like 98FM.

I cant wait for it the referendum to be over. Im sick of listening to it. Ive my mind made up and wish both sides would just f-off.

Some of the tripe from both sides is just childish.

I 2nd this statement, completely sick of it at this stage, and like yourself, I've my mind made up and no side of the argument is going to change it.

sky88

not going to change my mind in the slightest and both sides need to stop the needless stuff on such an important issue
