Ann Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 How much does it cost to be an NFL fan in the streaming era? We did the math. Six months of YouTube TV, five months of Prime Video and one month each of Peacock, ESPN+ and Netflix comes out to a grand total of $506.86, before taxes. And for fans who root for an out-of-market team or simply want access to the league’s entire slate of regular-season games, that will mean an additional $349 (so long as you’re a YouTube TV subscriber) for the Sunday Ticket package, bringing an NFL fan’s season total cost to at least $855.86 per season. </snip> 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartacus Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/sunday-ticket-trial-with-up-to-21-billion-at-issue-gets-started The Wall Street Journal recently took a closer look at what this case could mean. With up to $7 billion in damages, and given that the antitrust law requires damages to be tripled, the league could be looking at a $21 billion judgment, or $656.25 million per team. The plaintiffs contend that the NFL, DirecTV, CBS, and Fox worked together to make Sunday Ticket more expensive than it had to be. The NFL, represented by Beth Wilkinson (whose investigation of the Commanders greased the skids for Dan Snyder’s exit) claims it’s all about consumers having full access to content. “The case is about choice,” Wilkinson told the jury. “This is a valuable, premium product. Think about all the choices available to fans. We want as many people as possible to watch the free broadcasts.” That’s the issue, in a nutshell. The NFL wants Sunday Ticket to carry a price point that strikes the balance between generating significant revenue for its “premium product” while not diluting the audiences who would otherwise watch the Sunday afternoon games on their local network affiliates.

Ann Posted June 16 Author Share Posted June 16 YouTubeTV was just meh last year. If the Bills were on "local TV" we had to watch it locally and couldn't get it on YouTube. The problem? The "local" FOX station doesn't come in in our area (it is out of Mobile, CBS comes in fine, not FOX), even though it is "local TV." That means we had to "search" for the Bills game elsewhere, or go to a local bar, all while paying the high YouTube TV price. Just let me get all the games (available locally or not) on YouTube, or let me pick my team to get all the games ( available locally or not) on an app. Apparently, MLB and the NBA let you pick your team. Why is the NFL not doing it, too? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is the NFL not doing it, too? NFL doesn't offer team specific packages because they are a cartel. Opening up this option would cut into the profitability of several franchises, including the Bills We all hate the Cowboys, but they do kinda subsidize the Bills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
