DIRECTV unlikely to keep NFL Sunday Ticket

I always figured a single team package for half the cost of the full package would be about right. Sure a lot of people who are now paying $300 but really only care about one team would downgrade, but the cheaper price would bring in people who would be unwilling to pay $300.
 
This is interesting... What technology are they using to deliver it?

When I read it, that was the same thing that crossed my mind. It sure does effect many cable co. And I had the feeling satellite still might deliver? Who, what, were?
 
Well isn't that murky. NFL gives rights to a private equity firm?! Private equity firms don't do things, they are a large pool of money. So the NFL gave (sold?) the rights for commercial establishments to former Directv Execs who'll then sell the rights to local sat/cable/fiber?

Yep, think of HBO, where HBO gets 70% of the revenue, the provider gets 30%.

It will be similar to what this private equity firm is doing, they would get the most of the revenue while, DirecTV for example, gets a smaller percentage.

The problem is, before you pretty much had to have DirecTV for Commercial Establishments because of ST, now anyone can carry it, Dish, Comcast, Charter, streaming, etc.

Also depends on other sport’s agreements, are they exclusive to DirecTV to provide to businesses, or can other providers offer them.

The last thing I get from this, DirecTV is not spending money anymore to make it’s service better, no more exclusive agreements, no new satellites, equipment, etc.

Sounds illegal to me
 
That'll depend on what the equity firm does. They may just sell it to Directv. Curious about the legalities of that, with the NFL being a *cough* non-profit.

As far as Directv and Sunday Ticket, the NFL did dilute its value with Red Zone and the subscription package that allowed watching replays of the games for $10 a month (which I was all over!). It was what you had or Sunday Ticket. So there was a greater value to being able to offer that. Then the NFL diluted its value by providing access to live games and replays (almost instantly) for a much lower price, which undercut Directv.

NFL isn't non-profit anymore.

Waiting for those that said YTTV Subscribers would be paying more than what DirecTV charged to say they were incorrect.

I believe the YT Primetime price is less then DirecTV charged.
 
If you already have YTTV it doesn't matter
But lets say you sign up for NFL season. Thats 5 months (Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan) so 73*5 is $365
No...read the fine print
