How? They pay for the rights. You can't pay, you can't broadcast

They allegedly block out global sports streaming companies that can pay by locking in long streaming rights.

I'm sure they are fully aware this is their last golden ticket 🎟 over the consumer.

Once they start loosing these rights they are 100% dead. TV and Movie streaming has already been lost to Netflix, Disney, Amazon etc. some time ago...

Anti-competitive behavior is when a business or individual takes actions to limit competition in a market, often to gain an unfair advantage. These actions can include:

Monopolization
When a single company dominates the market, either by controlling the supply of goods or by pricing its competitors out of the market.

Anti-competitive behavior can have negative effects on the market, including: Higher prices, Less innovation, Reduced consumer choice, and Making it harder for new businesses to enter the market.

Sound familiar...?

By paying for it. If they didn't pay for it, they couldn't do that.
Do you think if someone else paid for the rights, they would just give them up as well?
It's not like they went and bought sports teams, or buying the sports commission or something that would actually prevent people from buying rights.

Correction. DSTV and Showmax apps can be streamed anywhere.

And to answer your question, only one of these options is from a single monopoly.

Pretty sure no government minister is going to bite the hand that feeds them...

Wonder how they get to 34 490 hours of sport last year. 365 days only gives 8760 hours a year. They claim they broadcast an average of 94.49 hours per day in of live sport. Does this include ads or not? (Summer Olympics 24 had 329 events in 32 Sports. . They claim 1200 events in 2900 hours on 19 days. How do they calculate it, is it per channel per day (8 I think). Don't they shut some channels as well. Repeats? I'm just asking, but it will be interesting if they give a brake down. YET WITH ALL SAID IN THEIR NUMEROUS ARTICLES, THE STILL LOOSE SUBS.
