TV companies will also be factoring lost income through cancelled subscriptions

I’ve paused my Sky Sports subscription and many more people will be outright cancelling theirs going forward due to job losses.

A pretty large recession is the likely outcome of this virus going forward and that means the TV companies probably won’t have the money to pay already agreed contracts. This seasons money is only part of the potential s**t storm approaching.
