Will the escalating cost of media sports rights change what we can watch?

Free to air TV was once the only place to watch your favourite
football match, but that could change as streaming services and
tech companies now compete for sports media rights.  


Sports bodies sell their rights to broadcasters, who then sell
advertising slots or subscriptions, so the clubs and athletes get
paid.  While this mostly remains the case in Australia, the
global value of these rights will this year surpass $US 60
billion with Amazon Prime, NBC and ESPN joining up for the rights
to both men's and women's basketball.
