DIRECTV unlikely to keep NFL Sunday Ticket

[Don in CT]

Using your logic..TNF football ratings should have increased because they switched to streaming...yet they dropped to half what cable/ satellite had....maybe streamers are not into sports but old people with cable/ satellite are

The reason the networks didn't want to bid on TNF was because the games were bad.

I've been out of this thread for awhile now, I come back to see if anything is NEW, Like actual News about the ST ...
Nope, same people going round and round.
Use to be a Great place to come and get news ...

This thread has never been a good source of information. 90% of the comments revolve around which is better, streaming or traditional. I only come here to get a laugh and shake my head.

And again, YTTV is gaining subs, already at half what DirecTV Satellite is in it’s short lifespan.

DirecTV has them, charges extra and has lost about 11 million subs in 7 years and still losing about 400,000-500,000 subs every quarter.

Dish does not have them and it’s rate of loss is not as high as DirecTV.

So what..it just means directv is too expensive..and thats due to sports programming other linear providers don't have..not to mention they really have 14 million subs

The only news you need to know is that there is no news and still no NFL sunday ticket deal...been that way almost 4 years now

No, they have 13.3 million which includes Uverse and Stream.

But I was focusing on the Sat side because of ST.

DIRECTV's video subscriber base (combined DIRECTV, U-verse, DIRECTV Stream) is the third largest traditional multi-channel video programming distributor (MVPD) in the U.S. with approximately 13.3 million subscribers at the end of 3Q22, behind Comcast which has 16.6 million video subscribers and Charter Communications, Inc. which has 15.3 million video subscribers.

Who cares..everyone knows directv is expensive because they cater to sports fans....you move expensive sports to streaming..ratings drop..TNF...revenue drops..its a vicious cycle

The only sports YTTV does not have is the local RSN, which does not seem to stop the growth of subscribers to it’s service, already at 5 million and growing.

I think YTTV Carries the NBC SPortsnet RSN’s but not the Bally’s ones

Apple wanted it in their base package but the NFL said no https://twitter.com/fangsbites/status/1602322540579504130

Who cares...they don't seem to want to pay the NFL’S asking price and meet their requirements..Apple can't make their own rules

Report: Apple bows out of Sunday Ticket talks, leaving Amazon and Google as the finalists

The company once regarded as the frontrunner for NFL Sunday Ticket has opted to take a Sunday drive, instead.

As of 9:23 pm tonight, it looks like Apple is gone as well ...

IF your on the Apple System.

Regardless, having it available relatively cheap and accessible would have been great. I have no Apple devices and get quite a bit out of their existing service.

Apples out anyways ...
Until the NFL realizes they don't have any other serious takers....

Good, always have written here that Amazon is a better fit.

Now if Amazon increases the Prime fee $50 more, include ST, that is $3.5 Billion ( based on 70 Million Household Prime members).

That does two things, NFL gets their money and access to a lot more fans, which helps grow the NFL.

Again with this? Apple TV+ is available on almost every smart TV, Google TV, Roku, and Amazon Fire device. Why is this so hard for people to comprehend?

Not ALL apps are available on all systems.
Being Apple or otherwise.
