We’re also creeping toward a future where every network is going to have their own subscriptions based streaming service. It’s not hard to imagine a point where it costs more to have all the services you want than it is to have cable.

The argument still makes no sense because the beauty of streaming services is I don't need to subscribe to them all, at least not all at once. They are super easy to cancel and replace with something else as the shows you want return or go off the air. You can't get rid of the channels you don't want on cable to save money. I only watch ESPN in the fall for college football. With cable I'm forced to pay (a lot) for it year round. Game of Thrones is back? Time to resubscribe to HBO (granted you CAN actually do this with cable). Handmaid's Tale? Resubscribe to Hulu for 2 months. And I can do all of that without calling customer service or having someone come out to my home between noon and 4pm. And even with all of the services I subscribe to over the year, if I DID pay for them all year, it is STILL cheaper per month than the cheapest cable package I can get.

Equally eye-opening was the fact that Ian Eagle has never eaten a salad.

I think cable is more likely to survive if they just hitched itself to the "on demand/app" wagon over the current/dying model of "Hey pay us 85 bucks for reruns of "BONES" on TNT" Starting to wonder how viable some of these cable channels are going forward by the way. ESPN has a model that will keep them sustainable for the future. But some of these others..man.

I'm watching the NCAA women's championship right now, and ESPN's in-game coverage of a serious injury for one of Baylor's players is loving disgusting. They held a split screen of her being attended to and her parents looking on in horror for like 2 straight minutes.

I’m sure a lot of those niche cable channels will eventually die off. They are not very sustainable and a bunch of them are redundant.

Pay Disney $70 a month and get Hulu, all things ESPN, and Disney+. Pay AT&T and get the Turner movie library, TNT's current sports offerings, and HBO, and if AT&T is your phone provider maybe you get those for free. Maybe Turner makes a play for some college football rights in a few years too.

as it stands they have no economic reason to do so; if disney can get you to pay for disney’s streaming service and for a dedicated “geek” service with marvel and lucasfilms properties and then license their fox and abc properties, it makes more economic sense and has less risk than bundling it all into one even if consumers would be happier if the nfl didn’t already exist as an ironclad mutually assured destructive enterprise with the owners i would imagine they’d model themselves after the ncaa in terms of regional networks along with one delusional team in texas with their own channel; i know there are regional sports networks that sort of fill this niche already but those aren’t owned by the nfl or their teams

I also dislike how the TV model currently is versus the college version of the game or the MLB, NBA and NHL I've bitched about it before but how the Cowboys Vs. NFC East matchup is just always dragged to the 4:15 slot every week by Fox is infuriating. I don't have a problem with any of these teams or their fans, but I really like the ability to b able to watch as many teams as possible during weekends in the falls. If the Cowboys pulled something like getting NBC to air them every week ala Notre Dame? There would be no objections from me because I would understand the argument. I don't even object to when I get them in Tulsa, that is very much a market they split with the Chiefs. Just when I lived in the greater Cleveland-area? I should not have been getting them every week, no fail. FuzzySkinner fucked around with this message at 22:37 on Apr 8, 2019 |

Yeah I checked up and saw that afterwards. I’m not sure off the top of my head about NFL teams but I do know there are regional sports networks owned by the teams — but usually the baseball/basketball/hockey side, which makes sense, as they have so much more content to broadcast. I know the Mariners own their network, and the Kroenke group owns one in Colorado that carries the Nuggets and Avs. That sort of business model doesn’t work as much for NFL because there’s just 16 or so games to sell, and the live broadcasts are already on a main network.

I'm actually not as shocked about OKC/Oklahoma. There's an insane amount of love for them in this area. I would walk into various sports bars, etc seeing men around my dad's age following them with great interest. I really want to see what would happen if they made the finals again.

I think Tony and Wilbon both have terrible/stupid ideas/beliefs/perspectives but at least Tony is smart enough to be self aware and openly willing to not take himself so seriously—he accepts the absurdity of being a person on tv charged with yelling about sports all year. Wilbon on the other hand is insufferable, and operates on the assumption that his opinions on every and any issue matters because he is friends with Erving "Magic" Johnson.
