Verizon et al has got to be shaking in their boots**
ombandit • 02/07/24 11:19 AM ET
Why? Verizon will just charge more for Internet.**
dallasvt • 02/08/24 01:17 AM ET
Yeah, and nobody’s buying**
ombandit • 02/08/24 03:36 AM ET
All I mean is I think Internet providers will find a way to get

Here's some stuff from The Athletic

Fascinating he thinks it’s about rebundling and not about a la cart. Bring
Stech • 02/07/24 01:08 PM ET
The cable packages will be able to unbundle the sports channels.
tarheelblue • 02/07/24 01:13 PM ET
ESPN and Fox...I see this as the P2 bundle**
EDGEMAN • 02/07/24 08:27 AM ET
One thing guaranteed.... the content owners/distributors will make more $
Vienna_Hokie • 02/07/24 08:11 AM ET
NBC Universal and CBS Paramount going to partner up next?
BUGGZY • 02/06/24 10:47 PM ET
Really interested to see the monthly cost
MBHokie90 • 02/06/24 10:17 PM ET
I am hearing $50 per month**
CobbCountyHokie • 02/07/24 05:27 PM ET
And they will price themselves right out of the market.
EDGEMAN • 02/07/24 06:12 AM ET
Same thing that happened to cable TV and is currently happening to streamin
wwhokie1 • 02/07/24 09:24 AM ET
I think they would be much better off by offering individual sports...

My biggest surprise was

ESPN is under contract to distribute the ACCN until 2036
PadrosWindup • 02/07/24 09:04 AM ET
Seems to me that they do not get carrier fees by putting the network on a
Big12 guy • 02/07/24 09:28 AM ET
SlingTV must be seething, since "mostly sports" was their angle a long time**
Synaesthesia • 02/06/24 07:52 PM ET
Looks like CBS will be out of March Madness.**
IB4TECH • 02/06/24 06:06 PM ET
I have always wanted April Madness for tailgating, 🏀 starts a month early.

26% of linear cable subs watch only live sports
CobbCountyHokie • 02/06/24 05:59 PM ET
They'll just recoup it by raising their internet provider cost
Victor Tango • 02/07/24 08:41 AM ET
Yep** ◄
Stech • 02/06/24 08:51 PM ET
I thought it was that only 26% of cable TV subs ever watch live sports**
tarheelblue • 02/06/24 07:45 PM ET
I’ve created the viewer segmentation models so I know this area well
CobbCountyHokie • 02/06/24 10:27 PM ET
What %% of thec 26% is RSNs and the league networks?
PadrosWindup • 02/07/24 08:14 AM ET
These are very good questions
CobbCountyHokie • 02/07/24 08:26 AM ET
Won't this streaming service be in addition to linear, though?
Will StewartAdmin • 02/06/24 10:31 PM ET
I think they cancel the cable bundle
CobbCountyHokie • 02/06/24 10:49 PM ET
Except for the 10 other channels you want to see that ...
Atlee Hokie • 02/06/24 11:38 PM ET
Cable services will be able to unbundle the sports channels.

If it happens, it'll be expensive af...**
Brewing_Hokie • 02/06/24 05:40 PM ET
I'm seeing estimates of $50/month.
tarheelblue • 02/07/24 01:08 PM ET
Sure to start…. That won’t last **
Brewing_Hokie • 02/07/24 01:10 PM ET
Maybe not if you don’t want the other 100+ channels you never watch.**
Stech • 02/06/24 09:11 PM ET
Yeah corporate greed will take over…**
Brewing_Hokie • 02/06/24 10:38 PM ET
If this survives antitrust scrutiny this is huge
VT ChemE 1986 • 02/06/24 05:28 PM ET
That was my first thought. Seems like an end around to avoid a "monopoly"
HokieAl • 02/06/24 05:35 PM ET
We knew who was going to pay for these media deals. What surprises me,
