[QUOTE="Rugbyfan564, post: 1213629, member: 87086"] Amazon have ruled out a bid according to Martyn Ziegler of the Times. [H2]Amazon rules out bid for Six Nations TV rights[/H2] The prospect of the [URL='https://www.thetimes.com/topic/six-nations']Six Nations[/URL] remaining on ITV and the BBC has increased as it appears Amazon Prime has ruled out bidding for the rights from 2026. The tournament is seen as being a potential "poisoned chalice" for subscription platforms — the old Five Nations championships was on Sky from 1997 to 2000 but it was widely regarded as being an unsuccessful move, especially for the sport's wider profile. TNT Sports, which shows Premiership Rugby, has already said it would be "very challenging" because of legal complications and the cultural association with terrestrial TV. [/QUOTE]
