After the current deals are up, Quibi will start back up and get the contract.So when does the NFL award games by quarter?
They had 2 issues recently with their ad insertion tech, fixes on the way as well as additional features and further improved pq as they upgrade transcoders and bring online things like multiview.Not sure if this is the right thread , but been reading lots of horror stories about YTTV and the recent NBA playoffs . Lots of glitches freezing , bad PQ u name it... makes you wonder if they are ready for the ticket ..
I'm still sad the NFL left D* , won't be watching this sesson
Once again, the NFL did not leave DirecTV, DirecTV got rid of ST by not bidding on the Residential ( went to Google) and Commercial ( went to Red Bird) versions.I'm still sad the NFL left D* , won't be watching this sesson
The latter was never realistic. The NFL wants this to remain exclusive.I think those that wanted it to go to others, wanted it to go to more than 1 company.
Exclusive is the only way the NFL has done TV deals, they believe ( and I agree) they can maximize revenue that way, evidence shows they are correct, also want guaranteed amount of money, if offered to everyone, it would be too variable since it will be based on how many subscribe ( a unknown number), then that would affect the salary cap year to year.The latter was never realistic.

They want MONEY, thats all they Ever want, More Money ...Exclusive is the only way the NFL has done TV deals, they believe ( and I agree) they can maximize revenue that way, evidence shows they are correct, also want guaranteed amount of money, if offered to everyone, it would be too variable since it will be based on how many subscribe ( a unknown number), then that would affect the salary cap year to year.
I do wonder what the next deals will be like, the TV Market will be so different in 2032 ( they always get the deals done a year before they expire), I cannot even imagine yet what things will look like.
They get more MONEY selling exclusive local rights to networks..if they opened up Sunday Ticket to everyone..there would be fewer eyeballs watching local games..and the value of the local games would decrease..They want MONEY, thats all they Ever want, More Money ...
Offer it to Everyone and they make MORE money.
That said, not all potential companies would jump on, but Many would.
There is no evidence that is true.They want MONEY, thats all they Ever want, More Money ...
Offer it to Everyone and they make MORE money.
And that is why they prefer a sure thing, again, they need to know what the Salary Cap will be for longer term deals, a variable amount every year will screw that up.yThat said, not all potential companies would jump on, but Many would.
Was not that you and Mr. Luxury TV that kept going on and on that anyone that wanted ST had it when it was with DirecTV.They get more MONEY selling exclusive local rights to networks..if they opened up Sunday Ticket to everyone..there would be fewer eyeballs watching local games..and the value of the local games would decrease..

And you fell into the Rabbit Hole.?????
The Local team has nothing to do with the games for those that want to see thier team, ya know, the ones on the ST ...
If people want to watch the Local team, they don't need this package.
As YOU say, the more people that have it available to them the more they will buy ... at least thats what You said.There is no evidence that is true.

So if it was offered to everyone, why would they have more subscribers then?
Yes the NFL cares about money, even more then how many watch, as proven by the Peacock deal.As YOU say, the more people that have it available to them the more they will buy ... at least thats what You said.
Your first part of the last comment was so funny, I had to put my Coffee down quickly ...
There is NO EVIDENCE that the NFL is ALL ABOUT MONEY ?????
REALLY ????
I am not allowed to use his name anymore, it would make more sense if I was able to.Excuse me ????
The networks pay for the rights to show local games..the don't need the package..but the package takes viewers away from local games..A viking fan would still watch NFL when his team isn't on the local channel..but with the package he would watch the vikings instead..fewer viewers for local tv stations..less valuable for networks?????

Make up your mind which direction your coming from .... one minute, the support is for the ST, Now its NOT.The networks pay for the rights to show local games..the don't need the package..but the package takes viewers away from local games..A viking fan would still watch NFL when his team isn't on the local channel..but with the package he would watch the vikings instead..fewer viewers for local tv stations..less valuable for network.
I like freedom of choice...I just explained why the NFL wont let widespread availabilty ever happen...to protect the rights of the local channelsMake up your mind which direction your coming from .... one minute, the support is for the ST, Now its NOT.
If the Networks were That against it, it would not have been happening for the last 20+ years.
