Well of course it did happen with Andy Murray winning the US Open in 2012 when Sky Sports have exclusive rights. Can't recall if FTA highlights were picked up subsequently.
I think there might have been some talk of FTA highlights being offered around, but that the price was too high for anyone to take them.
Eurosport had secondary live rights to the US Open at the time- Sky had 2 or 3 exclusive matches per day and everything from the QFs onwards was only live on Sky.
Eurosport showed the final the next day (a Tuesday, as the final had been pushed back to Monday after earlier rain delays).
Channel 4 aren’t allowed to show tonight’s game online, it seems!
Have to show a Prime Video DOG as well. Prime Video is slightly ahead of the C4 broadcast.
A clean ident into it as well, by mistake I think.
Sound problems briefly on C4 HD sorted now
Checked the delay vs streaming delay, the stream on my phone is slightly ahead of C4 HD via Freeview.
Prime Video DOG is bigger on C4 than it is on PV.
Anyone who’s ever wanted to see a Peacock DOG, well there’s one on Notre Dame v Toledo on Sky Sports NFL now.
So there’s Amazon Prime ad breaks with Channel 4 break bumpers… seemingly played out by Amazon themselves.
Have been told the entire broadcast on C4 is ad-free (PV trailers aside)
Surely they haven't paid the reported £1m+ for it. Perhaps a deal to give Amazon ad time, both tonight and in the future, rather than cash.

Yeah C4 HD dog remained onscreen throughout - sounds like Amazon and C4 have come to an "arrangement" - expecting all PV commercials.
Interested how this affects the Product Placement rules - having the PV logo onscreen throughout (presumably)
Is this the first time a streaming service has been rebroadcasted on traditional TV?

There must be money involved somewhere as Amazon have promised to invest it in women's tennis in the UK.

There was a NFL game last year on Sky, not sure if Sky did their own bespoke presentation around it.

Amazon' sport coverage only comes out at 1080p25/30 on the TV-based platforms I have access too (Virgin and Roku), so it will actually look better here on Channel 4 than it does on Amazon itself. Had to give up trying to watch their tennis coverage via the TV, as it's virtually unwatchable at those frame rates, Amazon really do need to extend the 50/60p streaming to more platforms.
I can get 50/60fps through the web browser on Amazon's website, but it's not ideal trying to watch via the laptop.
That could be a device hardware issue though. If it’s important, get hold of a device that can handle 50/60p.
Amazon’s live streams perhaps need a little bit more bitrate, but otherwise compare very well to HD broadcast.
