Still stupid in ways

Just like fast food restaurants. People show some toughness and stand up for themselves prices come down. We as people only need necessities. But we give into the monopoly.

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…

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 **

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.**
