Not good news but at least "Unless existing legislation changes, Discovery will still have to broadcast the entire Winter and Summer Games free to air."
It's a shame, I doubt the PPV channels get a fraction of the figures the BBC would get. Going to suck having to put up with adverts during the broadcasts.

I can't decide if this makes a good argument for or against the license fee.

Not really, I think you have to have a sports subscription package to get it. It's not on Freeview. |

Oh I thought it was free to air on sky but I have always had sky sports so always had it.
I wonder if they will be able to run 24+ channels so we get to see every minute of every sport
