Paywall ...ESPN and NFL closing in on ‘Next Era’-defining media deal
What could be in the deal: Red Zone Channel, NFL Network, seven regular-season games, enhanced betting and fantasy possibilities.
Doesn't surprise me any, the NFL have been trying to unload most of that for years now.
ESPN Could Be Getting NFL Network And Red Zone For $2 Billion And This Is Going To Be Expensive For Us
Awful Announcing - According to The Atheltic’s Andrew Marchand, ESPN and the NFL are “inside the five-yard line” in their ongoing negotiations, which would see the Worldwide Leader acquire a significa...
Maybe they are going to own part of ESPN if this deal goes thru

Great, now we'll have NFL Network sounding like ESPN ...
Most don't watch espn anymore (personally I don't because all they do is Yell at one another).
If this goes thru, lets hope the 2 keep to thier own ideas.

This deal was agreed to this week, pending regulatory approval.
One interesting thing I've seen a couple outlets reporting on is Iger said it includes the RedZone branding, so they could potentially launch RedZone channels for other sports.

what system will the be the 1st to pull ESPN out the basic plans and make it an ADD ON like HBO?
Many viewers will receive the service for free as part of their subscription to cable, satellite and most streaming services.
I think Dish would be the first. If their subs want ESPN, they can go to ESPN directly. Dish wouldn't want to play that hard on it, but Disney is making this a thing. They are a large part of the reason why tv is expensive and then demand higher rates from sat/cable, when they are trying to grab the people that dropped sat/cable because of how expensive it was. Disney will have lost its leverage with a streaming service.
Yeah - the streaming service does lose leverage. I know that contracts prohibit it, but I wish that if there is a direct to consumer option, that it should be an add-on for some packages. Maybe your highest level packages contain it all, but there has to be a lower priced entry package. As I mentioned in another thread, with the Flex Pack at $68 right now as the lowest level entry point, and then the lowest standard package at $98, you are losing subscribers as the cost is too high.
No they dont, they have precedence in their side! If the FCC dont care, who else will? Its game on,
