ixcuincle Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 They don't have specific games. Not sure how monthly pricing structure works but the whole thing is 299 with a discount until June or something. And that's added on the 75 a month for yt TV iirc. "Can you get NFL Sunday Ticket without having YouTube TV? Yes, but non-YouTube TV subscribers pay more for the package. The regular price for non-YouTube TV subscribers will be $449 for the season, but it's discounted to $349 through June 6." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does YouTube want for it? I think like $400… Yeah its expensive for sure. Sunday ticket added about $60 a month since it was broken up over six months. Plus every other year one could call n get it thrown in for free with another two year contract. Streaming definitely has a better value. Especially if one takes advantage of all the promos.

Captain Wiggles Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 It's to bad it's not offered at a weekly subscription like the old nfl game pass was. $20 per week was pretty sweet way back when. That nfl plus **** needs to go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) The Charter-Disney fight could be a disaster for Fox News The ongoing fight between Charter Communications and Disney over cable carriage fees threatens to upend the linear television business with dire potential implications for Fox News. Subscribers to Charter, the nation's second-largest cable provider, lost access to Disney-owned channels like ABC and ESPN last week after negotiations over a new deal stalled. Disney is reportedly seeking higher fees from Charter, while Charter counters that such fee increases are untenable with cord-cutting accelerating and wants to move toward a hybrid model that involves options for cheaper packages that don't include costly channels, as well as more expensive options that could include access to ad-supported streaming services. If Charter prevails (or if it exits the cable business altogether, as it has threatened to do if it can’t reshape its model) that would have major ramifications for the industry — and in particular for Fox, which would see its business strategy overturned at a time when it was counting on increased cable carriage revenues to bolster its battered bottom line. Fox currently faces a precarious situation. Its industry-leading ratings collapsed after the network cut ties with Tucker Carlson, the network’s biggest star, in April. They still remain depressed months later. Its parent company’s profits last quarter were wiped out by the massive defamation settlement it paid out to Dominion Voting Systems. And a similar suit seeking $2.7 billion is still making its way through the courts. Fox’s path back to hefty profits rested on its ability to command high carriage fees, the payments TV networks receive from providers to distribute the network. The company has long reaped a windfall by charging cable and satellite companies substantially more than its competitors. Providers pay an average of $2 per subscriber for Fox, behind only industry-leading ESPN, while CNN receives $1.06 and MSNBC $0.36. Fox executives were counting on boosting those already-high returns this year, reportedly seeking up to $3 per subscriber as they renegotiate the majority of their contracts. “We will be able to continue to drive the sort of industry-leading pricing both in a pay universe and a free universe and that pricing will certainly continue to ameliorate or balance any reduction in subscriber erosion, and subscribers across the universe,” Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch predicted in an earnings call last month. But those plans depend on the traditional model for cable television remaining intact — and that’s now in question. “Imagine if Charter or one of its rivals insisted that its customers not be forced to pay for Fox News Channel, which is the linchpin of Fox’s finances,” Variety’s Brian Steinberg wrote in a piece on potential fallout from Charter’s demands of Disney.

Cooked Crack Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Quote The world’s top paid streaming service said Wednesday it added 8.76 million customers in the third quarter, far exceeding analysts’ forecasts and boosting its overall subscriber base to 247.2 million. The company credited a strong programming slate and its crackdown on password sharing. Investors have worried that Netflix might lose customers if it forced people who were sharing accounts to buy their own subscriptions. But the crackdown has led to a surge in new customers without a major increase in cancellations. Netflix is now on track to add more than 20 million customers this year, a big jump from fewer than 9 million in 2022. Quote Starting Wednesday, Netflix is increasing the cost of its most expensive plan in the US by $3 to $23 and its basic plan by $2 to $12, while keeping two other plans the same. It’s taking similar steps in the UK and France, two other large markets. Europe, the Middle East and Africa accounted for the largest share of Netflix’s growth in the third quarter. The company added almost 4 million customers in that region. The average amount Netflix makes per customers hasn’t changed much in the past year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) people were crying over youtube tv being 80 dollars a month, but for the convenience of no contract it's well worth it. I have 4 TV's here, each one having a set top box would cost about 60 dollars total. That and the 3 computers that constantly use TV, it's just better to use youtube tv. only issue is during one of the frequent Xfinity outages you're **** out of luck Edited October 19, 2023 by ixcuincle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wiggles Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I signed up for YouTube tv for football watching season. Only $54 a month for the first three months. Not bad. Hulu had a similar deal I used last year. 10 minutes ago, ixcuincle said: only issue is during one of the frequent Xfinity outages you're **** out of luck Not really yinz can still use the app on your phone.

ixcuincle Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 https://www.foxnews.com/politics/house-democrat-demands-probe-broadcast-sports-monopolies A House Democratic lawmaker is demanding an investigation into whether American consumers are being cheated out of thousands of dollars by so-called "sports blackouts" and whether they are a result of broadcast monopolies abusing their power. "Yesterday was the sports equinox, the one day of the year that all four major professional sports leagues play at once. Yet New Yorkers, who already pay thousands of dollars a year to watch their favorite teams, stared at black screens because billionaire owners care more about profit than their fans. It’s bulls---," Rep. Pat Ryan, D-N.Y., told Fox News Digital. "[Y]ou shouldn’t have to buy 6 streaming services just to find out the game is blacked out. The leagues make more than enough money – let’s put power back where it belongs: with the fans." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
