Cannot get over how ugly the Bally Sports broadcasts are. Total amateur hour poo poo with the graphics and the music they use sounds like some stock poo poo.

I guess it'd be too much to ask the Bally Sports app on Roku to remember my login information and not force me to connect the app with Spectrum's login info every time I load it up, huh?

When an NHL game is listed as ESPN+ or Hulu, does that mean it's also available on Hulu in the US? It's pretty unclear since when I go to the game tab on Hulu it just tells me to watch on ESPN+. EDIT: Nvm, looks like it is playing on Hulu, so that's nice except they missed the first minute and a goal.. Mike_V fucked around with this message at 21:39 on Nov 26, 2021 |

Kibner posted:Just look at the replies and quote tweets (and the replies and qt's of those). Nothing unhinged. Just a lot of Bally sucks, guess I'm going to keep pirating, Pels are complicit and shouldn't allow this, etc. With a few, well I guess I can afford it if I cancel my cable entirely sprinkled in. Are they going to have any programming that's worth a poo poo outside of the games themselves? Why would I buy a full year when I will need it for 8 months at most?

I imagine YT will offer it at a discounted rate for YouTube TV subscribers (since I think they're offering Sunday Ticket as a standalone package too). That pricepoint might be a way to try and juice their core service numbers

RumbleFish posted:Yeah, the Apple/MLS tie-up is going to be real interesting to watch. I'm extremely annoyed that I'll go from being able to watch CLTFC games for free on local TV and will now have to pony up $14/month to see them, though. Wait are the MLS games an additional package on top of base Apple TV+? That is a bummer since I don't want to pay that much to watch St. Louis' new team

Rick posted:Yeah obviously you'd rather be on ESPN or actual OTA Fox but on average sports get better ratings on CW than FS1. They wouldn't be as accessible nation wide but it could mean more total viewers in their actual market which to me should be the actual goal of this and if they can make more money than their current deal doing that then they should. Does the CW really not have an affiliate in every market?

I would love it if MLB and NHL games would go back to local affiliates. I watched the Blues and Cardinals on the local WB station when I was a kid before Prime Sports (I think) grabbed them

Does that include the entire suite of ESPN networks or just the flagship (as the project is called)? If it's just ESPN then gently caress all the way off, but if it's everything (which includes stuff like SECN+ and so on) that's a different story

ESPN is eventually going to start losing money as the carriage fees evaporate over the next decade. But they've also agreed to $$$$$Billion in rights agreements with a bunch of different leagues. The leagues are still going to want that money.Edward Mass posted:My guess is that Disney is zigging where Fox is zagging and they’re going all-in on streaming. It wouldn’t surprise me if in five years, all the current TV channels owned by Disney are spun off, sold, or shuttered. Iger said as much today at that freakshow billionaire summit: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/13/dis..._source=twitter quote:Disney is going to be “expansive” in its thinking about the traditional TV business, leaving the door open to a possible sale of the networks. “They may not be core to Disney,” Iger said, adding the creativity that has come from those networks has been key for Disney.

DeimosRising posted:All the major streaming services are likely profitable outside of creating “original content”, and the ones with ads are probably profitable even then. The problem at wb-discovery is that they are 50 billion in debt, not that they aren’t making any money Well, this is the problem because all of those legacy companies wanted to follow the Netflix model, but forgot they weren't first movers (and also provided the grist for the Netflix mill for 10 years) and decided to spend $x,000,000,000 per year on original programming and movies while also charging way below market rates (except for HBO Max). You also sort of have to have original stuff to acquire subscribers; library content is for retention, but acquisition does require new things. There's a lane for library services, but FASTs are filling that at the moment and are nowhere near as profitable, so shareholders aren't going to allow that as a main business at this point. This is a problem entirely created by these companies themselves, so it's hard to feel too much (or any) pity for them.

Edward Mass posted:Bally Sports/DSG is not going away There you have it; teams that aren't the Dodgers, Yankees, Mets, etc. are gonna now explicitly reference this when they cut spending (afaik they've been coy about talking about the declining RSN business as it relates to payroll so far)

The teams haven't said they're not spending because of RSN stuff, but now they're going to explicitly talk about it when pressed (which isn't really a valid excuse since the teams still make money, just a little less now)

DJExile posted:It doesn’t work that way. WB (who own lifetime) or any other network can’t just throw out offers when CBS, ABC, and their other broadcasters have exclusive rights with the league, or at least right of first refusal. TNT and discovery+ also have rights and are probably working out where those other games might go or any competition it might be up against. Is WBD really putting WNBA games on Discovery+??
