Right. If Nexstar cared one whit about serving its communities, this never would have happened. All local TV chains care about is charging for what should be free.

I love these "we are working on it" and "almost there" deals. Come on. It is a single variable negotiation. How much? That is it. You do not "work on" that. You are not "almost there". You either have a deal or you do not.

IMHO, - Another FAST channel on DirecTV. I have the internet. Thanks. Not as bad as YTTV with its plethora of fake channels, but getting there. - I really do not like Sports Grid. It was originally, before the Supreme Court's ruling on sports gambling, a radio network that just read...

Literally never heard of FMC before this thread. Seems to be old movies, many in the public domain. MeTV, which is blacked out for me because our market leading NBC station made DirecTV add its MeTV subchannel in the last retransmission extortion, so its six of one half dozen of the other...

Thanks. While not my politics, and thus not for me, this is at least the first add of something other than diginet rerun channels in several years. Rerun diginets are not valuable.

Channel 262 is "Vision", an infomercial channel aimed at the old, and the old at heart.

The price is really a function of two factors. First is just how much money is YouTube willing to lose? We don't know that number, but I'm sure YouTube has an idea. Second no one knows. How many people are going to sign up for YouTube (grossly inferior to every alternative) linear TV...

Pick a broadcasting stock. Any one, any level. Every investor disagrees with your idea that broadcasting will not exist in four years. You don't understand the market. You google up some story, usually 10 or 12 times a month, about the unprofitable streaming industry and wrongly conclude...

All of them. That is why there is massive investment in broadcasters at all levels. Meanwhile, streaming loses money. What exactly must happen for it to make money? And, a double feature: https://awfulannouncing.com/apple/apple-tv-went-down-at-a-very-bad-time-for-mls-viewers.html...

No, you have not. Most of your thrice or more weekly "linear TV is dying, it won't exist in 4 years" won't be proven wrong for, umm, four years. However, every market expert from every broker disagrees, My money, literally, is on them. I shall enjoy it. Following markets involves...

"Dude", I have no problem with you at all. You are on a TV enthusiasts' website, telling everyone that the decisions YOU make are for everyone. You post, multiple times per week, spin items about streaming, coming to conclusions that no professional follower of media has. Linear TV was...

Yeah, gift cards don't cost anything. The credit card companies just give them out out of the goodness of their hearts. They don't include the costs of perks in what you pay. Right. But, hey, you could have bought a blender, or a bike, or 15 cases of Pepsi with your gift cards. You...

But, but, but, YTTV is LINEAR TV. You have spent years telling all of us that we are fools and you are the future. Just watch Pluto and Netflix and whatever old VHS tapes you can find at Goodwill and SAVE, SAVE, SAVE!!!!!!! So you want and bought the LINEAR TV. Welcome back to the majority...

The Marchand and Ourand podcast, which is the basis of the article, is well worth listening to. Pretty much every week. There is some spin, but Rolapp seems to be honest most of time. Including (off-topic) admitting that it doesn't really matter which announcers work which games. He also...

Yeah. I watched a little this morning, just to see what the deal is. He has the old man mumbles. All in all the entire operation is 1970s UHF level production. I have seen YouTube political commentators that have better production values. Reporting, 100% not making any political comments at...

Actually, it was started in 2019. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_First_TV

Never heard of this channel before yesterday.

And SBJ wraps up Amazon's little venture on TNF. Ratings are down 41% from the previous year when it was on real TV. All other packages were flat or slightly up. FORTY ONE PERCENT. Wow. This, of course, comes down to two types of consumers who watched TNF on real TV, but now do not...

In other words, you were wrong, posted anyway, got called on it, and won't admit it. Typical. If they are some guy sitting in a discarded folding chair counting his gift cards and seeing if he can reuse a coffee filter. For most people, who want linear TV, that means paying twice for the same...

Umm, again, basic knowledge missing here. Diamond Sports has to make a deal with each MLB team to sell the Bally app "a la carte". So far it has deals with five MLB teams, covering four markets. NBA and NHL are better, but still not universal. I love the whole instant fanboy thing vis...

Incorrect. The existing contracts with CBS and Fox REQUIRE it to be sold at a "premium price". Widely known for over 20 years. But, no they are going to lose zillions of dollars and sell it to you for a couple of bucks. Because you showed 'em. No hold your breath and stomp your feet and...

Once again, it MUST be sold at a "premium price", generally thought to be $300. No amount of googling up fact free stories from obscure websites can change that. The idea that if enough people just hold their breath and stomp their feet long enough then content providers will just "have" to...

And still correct. It unstated if it will be predicated or not. Simply that YTTV will be one predication. The app will almost always be likewise. But you do the math. Why would they sell it to you AT A LOSS if you can buy it, and nothing else, from them? You answer that question.

Correct.

Things we know, and things we don’t. - If you read the articles literally, this is for home viewer rights only. That means that the NFL is going back to the well for the commercial rights. Google does have a “relationship” with DISH, but if you read it literally, it is not like Amazon TNF...
