broadcasting rights to a Caps game, then the national broadcast and the NHL's on demand channel broadcasts are blacked out if you live in the Monumental footprint. You are correct that live sports drives the streaming cable subscriptions too. Once the live sports and/or on demand sports are exclusively offered via streaming apps/channels, it will be interesting to see what happens to the rest of the cable channels. Do they get pushed to various apps/streaming channels too? If so, then how much more money will consumers be forced to pay to watch their programs on ABC, Fox, NBC, CBS, Sci-Fi, History, ESPN, Nickelodeon, etc. that used to be bundled in a cable subscription? What does that mean for the future of the local channels? I believe FCC rules state that the local channels must be made available to the public so they can continue getting their local news live and any emergency broadcasts.
