YoutubeTV 2025 price increase

[Jimbo]

How much do those cost vs. the sports channels? The cost of sports is just the biggest problem of course. The proliferation of channels with tiny audiences (if any, statistically speaking) that incrementally increase the cost is also a problem, but eliminating the sports is the most obvious way to cut the cost.

I have a different view of this issue, because, I don't use any of the RSN's that I have available ...
However, I sub to the MLB package and the NFL package (NFL is not RSN's I know).

I get the Package so I can see out of market teams.
Steelers and Texans (and Lions which would be in my area, but NFL isn't on the RSN's)
Astro's and Red Sox
Occasionally another

Well, with D*, the Packages would be about $160 ish for MLB ... (I may be going the Streaming version this year, which is cheaper)
NFL package is all over the place depending on what else you have ... it continues to climb ... it was about $440 ish without a YTTV sub, last year.

The Sports Channels, what are you referring to ones like ESPN and FS1 and what not ?
Those I have no idea.

I think all the sports leagues should lift all territorial restrictions so you can watch what you want. That would take pressure off the RSN as they could still produce pre and post games at some profit point.
Some want their local channels, and you pay for them.
Some want kids programming, and you pay for them.
I dont see choice at all, because to few are players anymore, when it comes down to media giants!

Between Netflix, OTA and Philo, I have so much content I'll never be able to watch it all in my lifetime. So for $35 a month, I don't forsee myself spending any more than that except for one-off sporting events or movie rentals on Fandango/Vudu.
