This is an interesting piece of news. Amazon is claiming that they don't need to charge to screen the Champions League because they can make their income from sales on the back of it. This begs the question as to whether Amazon will make a determined bid for the football Premiership rights in 2022, at a reduced price for consumers, which will be a major threat to Sky.
It appears that the December games on Amazon were quite successful, so as long as they think they can address the various technical issues (such as latency) in time for the rights issues, it could well be that Amazon goes for the main set of packages at Sky's expense.
