[FortressX]

One Saturday game a year will go directly to Amazon

“We are thrilled to renew our Thursday Night Football deal with the NFL, and are excited to expand our relationship to include exclusive global streaming rights to an additional regular season game in 2020,” Marie Donoghue, vice president of global sports video at Amazon, said in a press release.

Amazon and Disney pretty much control the entire globe at this point lol

Don't forget google.

It's only a matter of time before they own exclusive rights to "televise" all professional games. They have the deep pockets to easily outbid the networks.

I have always believed that someday NFL games will be pay per view like Boxing.

Please make all of this happen. Can't wait to throw my Directv dish and Sunday Ticket sub in the garbage.

Google, Apple, and Netflix too.

Saturday games now, eh? Going for total saturation at this point, I guess. Might as well put one game on Tuesday and one on Wednesday too. Rates of divorce will skyrocket. Divorce attorneys will profit bigly.

I would say- not so fast. Disney is just going to pull the same sort of dirty, corporate business.

Want to watch NFL on Sunday? You'll have to buy a "package" that includes swallowing the latest cumload of Star Wars spinoffs and a 90 year old Indiana Jones breaking out of a wheelchair to bullwhip someone.

Think they're prevented by their antitrust exemption from playing games on Saturday during the college football season. Maybe they'll have a major slate of Saturday games in the new Week 18.

Yeah I definitely misread that one.

The Disney cost would be much less than what DIRECTTV charges. Disney's sports package can be bundled with HULU and the movies you dislike or not.

That sounds better to me than paying for the hundreds of bundled channels with Directv that I don't watch.

I'm currently paying about $1,300 per year (Directv + Sunday Ticket) to watch the eight or so games that aren't national broadcasts. That's $162.50 per game.

I guess an "upside" of Brady leaving is that fewer Patriots games will be nationally broadcasted. My cost-per-game will go down.

 

[Hyped]

More of this please....we need wrestle away the Sunday Ticket Package from AT&T/DirecTV.....it shouldn't be exclusive. I am willing to pay up to $10 PER GAME. I just don't wanna get tied into DirecTV's set up box, dish, bull$hit pricing, and etc...

I have Hulu with HBO and I pay for Sunday Ticket. I’m spending about $1,020 per year. With Commiecast/Xfinity/whatever lipstick on a pig name they’ve come up with now, I was paying north of $2,500 per year.

Can you get Sunday Ticket with Hulu? I thought Directv had the exclusive contract.

I'm paying for Hulu and HBO too (and Amazon, Netflix, Showtime) but I actually watch that programming and/but can't get NFL through there.

 

[FortressX]

Very interesting, but the NFL is getting a plan ready to play more Saturday games if NCAA decides to cancel/delay their season
Report: NFL Could Hold Games on Saturday if College Football Canceled

I get it through Fire Stick.

you can get the app.....you don't need anything else

Only if you CANNOT have a dish installed on your property (e.g. University dorms, apartment buildings, etc...).

Did that a few years ago when they gave NFL ticket away for free and new customers $75 off a month, a savings of $900 a year versus existing customers. They wouldn't do anything for me so I dumped them. No regrets and I found a way o get red zone channel and Pats games.
