No, I am talking about what you are

Yes, the trend is away from cable, but it is towards streaming everything via whatever internet connection you have, with little differentiation between things like Youtube and Instagram and streaming services and packages that bundle up what used to be called cable channels. There really aren't a lot of people trending towards getting digital antennas and getting broadcast channels to their TVs, especially among younger people.

The $100M for Goodell’s salary gotta come from somewhere

I can't watch any of it free. I am outside of antennae range from Miami.
Coach McGuirk • 01/10/26 08:17 PM ET
Because Amazon paid a lot of money to the NFL for the right to broadcast

People are abandoning "over the air" TV? I've not heard that before.
MP4VT2004 • 01/10/26 08:32 PM ET
Major network TV viewer numbers are way down compared to 20+ years ago
SteveInBaltimore • 01/10/26 10:30 PM ET
OK..I think you are using the term "over the air TV" to describe "live TV".

I would assume percentage of OTA consumption is way down
JoesterVT • 01/10/26 08:55 PM ET
It is thanks to digital broadcasts where multiple channels can fit...
EDGEMAN • 01/10/26 08:39 PM ET
I thought is was on Amazon Prime?
JoesterVT • 01/10/26 07:00 PM ET
It’s Prime **
ombandit • 01/10/26 07:06 PM ET
Prime is streaming. And I have access. The issue is
Hokie CPA • 01/10/26 07:11 PM ET
I just told someone the same thing. I know some long time "seasoned" NFL
501 • 01/10/26 09:29 PM ET
That's an interesting angle, but nothing is accessible to everyone
JoesterVT • 01/10/26 09:36 PM ET
Why?**
JoesterVT • 01/10/26 07:13 PM ET
Cause hes angry**
HokieJamie • 01/10/26 07:50 PM ET
Clearly, but why?**
JoesterVT • 01/10/26 08:10 PM ET
Yeah, like I said it was a joke....
JoesterVT • 01/10/26 07:11 PM ET
Apple TV won the bid for F1 coverage this year.**
