Quotable
“The NHL was a great property. We had a wonderful run with them, and we certainly wish them well. Premier League does a lot of other things for us. The number of games, the number of fixtures and exposures and windows become very important, but I think that our strategy has been from day one, and it’s something that we’ve been very consistent about, is that we are the network of the Premier League. We are not the network of soccer.”
