Other than those with an antenna, who gets it free? I pay Youtube TV $75

per month just so I can watch sports.

Some bad news. Peacock announced their ratings (viewership) of the Chiefs
Big12 guy • 01/15/24 07:43 AM ET
More people watched SF play the Eagles on 12/3…
lawhokie • 01/16/24 08:08 PM ET

daveinop • 01/17/24 06:49 PM ET
It is a good thing......

"dwarfing traditional Nielsen playoff ratings" Where does it say that?
dallasvt • 01/16/24 10:25 AM ET
Texans-Browns on the same day drew 6 million more viewers
lawhokie • 01/16/24 08:21 PM ET
Last year, the Saturday night game drew 4M fewer than the early game.
reestuart • 01/17/24 10:00 AM ET
I'd be fine with actual PPV, but not a monthly subscription model.
HokieNoVA • 01/16/24 09:27 AM ET
I’ve never paid pay per view for anything. Not starting now**
CrystalCoveHokie • 01/15/24 08:58 PM ET
27 million people just did.**
hokieZ71 • 01/15/24 10:20 PM ET
KC and Miami markets are included in that number and it was broadcast**
Vienna_Hokie • 01/16/24 09:48 PM ET
A lot of people get it “free” with xfinity internet **
MrBayAreaHokie • 01/16/24 01:17 PM ET
Well…..There’s this…..**
CrystalCoveHokie • 01/15/24 10:53 PM ET
You do what you want with your money **
HokiesACC2004 • 01/15/24 11:36 PM ET
Still stupid in ways
MrFantastic! • 01/16/24 06:45 AM ET
Not my business not that I disagree with you **
HokiesACC2004 • 01/17/24 03:03 AM ET
We are paying already, this just changes from bundling to selective paying.
Stech • 01/15/24 09:21 PM ET
3-5 years ago, this board was full of people looking to cord cut.
PadrosWindup • 01/16/24 08:30 AM ET
Spot on, people were complaining about ala cart, now they’re reversing 🤷‍♂
Stech • 01/16/24 09:26 AM ET
ESPN, NBC, and CBS have all been doing it for Professional Soccer
HOO86 • 01/15/24 07:38 PM ET
And many of us will simply opt out. Screw them.**
MP4VT2004 • 01/15/24 08:40 PM ET
I can remember when very few UVA games were on TV
HOO86 • 01/15/24 08:52 PM ET
I grew up that way
HokiesACC2004 • 01/16/24 12:50 AM ET
I would listen to the game on local FM radio station....
Old Line Hokie • 01/15/24 11:59 PM ET
Agreed**
MP4VT2004 • 01/15/24 08:53 PM ET
Not surprised at all **
HokiesACC2004 • 01/15/24 07:14 PM ET
i don't really care
MrBayAreaHokie • 01/15/24 06:28 PM ET
I have a wife, so it's not so easy for some. Plus I'm
Big12 guy • 01/15/24 06:50 PM ET
Is there any talk of creating a B12 network or ...
Hokie_CLT • 01/15/24 08:52 PM ET
Not yet, but not having one allowed us to be the only conference
Big12 guy • 01/15/24 09:48 PM ET
We will see about NFL - they get an anti- trust exemption
Hokie12thman • 01/15/24 05:42 PM ET
Comcast has to be loving this.
hokieZ71 • 01/15/24 05:40 PM ET
Comcast owns NBC Universal, which owns Peacock.
PadrosWindup • 01/15/24 06:16 PM ET
Wonder where the bulk of their revenue comes from?**
hokieZ71 • 01/15/24 06:45 PM ET
Was that game commercial-free?
Old Line Hokie • 01/15/24 04:38 PM ET
When it goes full streaming I can drop OTA subscription.
hokieZ71 • 01/15/24 05:41 PM ET
They offer an ad free tier
mrcaniac • 01/15/24 05:14 PM ET
They will lose some fans, but I don't think they care. **
Big12 guy • 01/15/24 04:41 PM ET
I have Xfinity. And Peacock is part of my package.
PadrosWindup • 01/15/24 02:27 PM ET
me too, learned i had it the other day**
MrBayAreaHokie • 01/15/24 06:29 PM ET
I dont get that?
Vippie1 • 01/15/24 01:03 PM ET
Other than those with an antenna, who gets it free? I pay Youtube TV $75 ◄
Femoyer Hokie • 01/15/24 05:24 PM ET
yes, we all pretty much pay for cable or streaming or whatever
Vippie1 • 01/16/24 09:25 AM ET
Sure it does, but if they can pull those kinds of numbers, and they
Big12 guy • 01/15/24 02:18 PM ET
Agree with all of that. Imagine the revenue just sitting there for
reestuart • 01/15/24 03:06 PM ET
Take out the female audience that tuned in to watch Taylor.
Rockfish40 • 01/15/24 09:28 AM ET
You'll get those numbers when the Swiftie network launches.
Truthahn • 01/16/24 12:58 PM ET
True picture is that Comcast/Peacock got their $5.99
mrcaniac • 01/15/24 05:10 PM ET
how many new subs did they get?
daveinop • 01/16/24 04:31 PM ET
Wonder if they want to be the exclusive home of KC and TS?**
EDGEMAN • 01/15/24 12:22 PM ET
They'll take a bath when TS breaks up with him...lol**
EDGEMAN • 01/15/24 12:23 PM ET
I look forward to that day so that I can stop reading about her on TSL.**
MP4VT2004 • 01/15/24 08:33 PM ET
That may be another reason that the advertisers want to shrink down the
VTCALS72 • 01/15/24 08:26 AM ET
That’s a HUGE leap based off one NFL playoff game…
ombandit • 01/15/24 07:50 AM ET
FYI - It's my understanding the games were broadcast in local markets. So.
HokieHill • 01/15/24 08:25 AM ET
Correct**
ombandit • 01/15/24 08:40 AM ET
I live in the local market, and we did not have to go to peacock to watch
Big12 guy • 01/15/24 08:37 AM ET
The ratings show the consumer does want it**
hokeyhokie • 01/15/24 07:45 AM ET
Yep. The NFL is a machine. Especially playoff NFL.**
