Spark doing their part to bolster our NEON subs...

Let's see what kind of specials they offer to kick start their Spark Sport + Sky Sport NOW bundles mid November.

Saw a Spark ad on TV last night. They're pushing 'media bundles'.

Interesting that Neon and Netflix are in the same "tier/league" now. This wasn't the case last year as Netflix was always seen as more premium, now both are the same.

Lots of talk on social media about the $49.99 sports combo. Pretty good deal considering you get cricket and rugby.

These partnerships at the very least will keep Sky treading water. When Sky broadband is released next year this will also slow churn down again.

Conclusion: Sky is not dead. Pundits wrong again, for the 12th straight year.

Every week that goes by Sky makes another $1m in free cash. Once the bonds are paid of next year, that will save another $6m in interest. The turn around for this company is already here, it's just a question of how much will shareholder be reward.

"From the UK to Mexico to Australia, we've seen an encouraging level of interest in our key events since first launching in 2016," said DAZN executive vice president Joseph Markowski.

Based in Sydney and haven't heard of these guys. I'd imagine 2.99 is there access fee to the platform with fights being at around the $50 PPV prices. I'd imagine Sky would have access to all of the big fights anyway. Doesn't look to dissimilar to the UFCFightPass platform.

I still don't recall hearing energy mentioned once in the live stream. Martin says "and in due course" which is a little mumbled and can be mistaken for energy I guess. But hey, heres hoping I just need my ears cleaned lol.
