I agree with you, but I am still waiting for those here that will still say how bad it is that NFLST is leaving DirecTV and going to Amazon.
They should make thursday night football amazon exclusive first..just to see what happens...take it off nfl network etc
So, now you want to take a program off ALL potential networks (Cable/Sat ect) and move it to Stream ONLY .... and see what happens ?
NFL Media is not owning a team. Its owning nfl.com, which you can view for free; NFL Network, which, really is niche programming, especially in the off-season and has ratings that reflect that; and the Red Zone. It is not really owning a team.
The negative is one. Anyone with a clear view of the southern sky can get DirecTV, and there is an internet based work around for the tiny fraction of people who cannot; the number of homes with internet capable of this level of streaming is far less, and many bars and other places with NFLST do not have internet at all, and often do not even have access to it, even if the residential parts of their town has great internet.
You are grossly under estimating how many will be able to watch because of your hatred of streaming, it is more like 8.5/10.
As an experiment before pulling sunday ticket
you have me wrong ... I don't dislike Streaming at all ....
And yet only 13 million do.
Which does not get NFLST, so it does not matter.
In fourth quarter of 2020, the total number of broadband subscribers in the U.S. stood at 105.82 million, which is roughy 90 million more then DirecTV, 40 million more then all Cable/Sat. Subscribers.
And again, they will have options to get Broadband by the time NFLST starts up at Amazon( or whoever), it is called StarLink.
I been reading your posts, it definitely comes off that way.
Every news story has said is going to a exclusive home, even this last story from 3 days ago, the most notable thing the last story said is this-Amazon is also bidding for the “Sunday Ticket” package against Disney, ViacomCBS, Apple, not one Traditional TV Provider.
Of course not, it is just they have the most possibility of getting better ratings (Thursday Night Football) and more subscribers ( NFLST) because they have 150 million members, which is double the Traditional Pay TV Subscribers.
You have to get DirecTV and pay for that to get NFLST, that is a lot more expensive then a year of Prime, the costs of a month of DirecTV would be the same as a year of Prime
NFLST does not start up at a streaming service for a year and 9 months, plenty of time.
Except, Starlink won't be available to many of those wanting due to price.
No one knows what Amazon will charge Bars and Restaurants for NFLST, it might be less then DirecTV, then that makes StarLink more affordable, also Bars/Restaurants will no longer need DirecTV anymore, so savings there.
You are making a statement without any evidence, how do you know that MOST bars and restaurants do not have High Speed Internet.
Seeing I have worked in Businesses over the last 30 years installing and repairing Internet, I know that 90% of businesses IF they have internet at all are at a VERY low speed, most that do have it are only there for thier credit card machine.
That is the plan next year isn't it? TNF Amazon exclusive.
