Ms Dee Forbes:

As I said, the area of sports rights is a minefield. It is also highly competitive and hugely confidential. As I said, we absolutely want to continue the principle that we are working with here, in varying shapes. Will they always work out? Possibly not, for various reasons, but the spirit with which we went into both those discussions was to enhance the opportunity for the viewer. That is what will always drive our collaboration and our engagements at this level. Certainly, it is something we want to continue to pursue. I cannot get into detail because that is the nature of negotiations, but it is something I hope the Deputy will see more of.
