I hope not Apple. I dont want to spend $100+ on multiple apple TV 4k streaming things just 2 get Pixelation evey few min cause I have a bad ISP.Mostly likely Amazon or Apple will put in huge bids for the rights to Sunday Ticket, driving the price up.
Disney CEO Bob Iger has already said publicly he would have interest in Sunday Ticket, although it remains unclear if the NFL will negotiate Sunday Ticket at the same time as its other packages or wait until later this year.
If Disney does nab Sunday Ticket away from AT&T, it would use the package to push ESPN+ subscriptions, according to two people familiar with the company’s plans -- viewers would have to sign up for ESPN+ to have access to the games before paying the annual package charge, currently about $300. AT&T has viewed Sunday Ticket, which costs about $1.5 billion annually, as too expensive for the amount of customers it brings in for DirecTV and likely wouldn’t be interested in winning a bidding war, according to people familiar with the matter.
Still, while Disney can theoretically afford a lot of live football, ESPN is losing millions of subscribers each year as more people cut traditional cable. Putting Sunday Ticket on ESPN+ might erode the traditional cable bundle faster, because it will make ESPN+ a better replacement product. Disney has the goods to make a big splash but is also arguably the most exposed by paying billions for rights that ESPN relies on.

I doubt that Amazon has any interest in exclusive rights to Thursday Night Football either. Oh wait...I doubt either has any interest in exclusive rights to NFLST.
Those thursday games are so unpopular that the only way people will watch them is in a bar or restarauntI doubt that Amazon has any interest in exclusive rights to Thursday Night Football either. Oh wait...
Now, I would agree that Amazon and Apple may not care about distributing NFLST to commercial establishments. And the NFL might not even allow it, depending on how broadband-connected America's sports bars are.
But at least for residential subscribers, yeah, I think Amazon and ESPN+ are both very interested in being the exclusive distributor of NFLST. And maybe Peacock Premium too. (Apple makes less sense to me, but who knows.)
LOL, OK. In actuality, Thursday Night Football averaged more than 14 million viewers in each of the past three seasons.Those thursday games are so unpopular that the only way people will watch them is in a bar or restaraunt
Thats counting bars and restarauntsLOL, OK. In actuality, Thursday Night Football averaged more than 14 million viewers in each of the past three seasons.

The question is what happens when DTV loses the license to ST.
They will never sell direct, they won't make their money back. They will need a partner to give them guaranteed money.No, the question is still whether they will.
All we know for sure is that they will not renew the all encompassing exclusive deal. We don't know if there will be a future exclusive licensee or multiple licensees/sublicensees, or if the NFL can't get the price they're looking for whether they end up selling direct to consumers like mlb.tv.

Maybe DTV gets a commercial licensing deal only for bars and restaurants.
yea but comcast is one of the ones interested in it along with amazon and netflix of all people. i think the X1 platform on comcast is cloud based as well though i might be wrong. i think that dtv will carry the sunday ticket i don't think it will be exclusive to dtv...Agree I also suffer from horific docsis service.
My directv is more reliable than this horific service they call cable broadband.
I'm hoping it will be directv plus an online option with more features like NFL game pass or MLB.TV
I personally think there is no way a cable company could do NFL ST , look at how companies like Comcast are compressing all channels doen to 720p ...
