OT: New Sports Service Venu Sports is $42.99 per month

[Ian]

This is that service that Disney, Fox, Warner Bros, Discovery etc. all grouped together a bit ago, and this is apparently their new service:





Hold your shock and amazement - the price is apparently for just one year and it sounds like they'll raise it later:

"The three companies say anyone who signs up for the service at launch will be able to lock in this price for one year, hinting at the potential for a price increase down the line."

Money money money , its not funny , in the NFL world..

 

[Ross12]

I think I’ll just stick to the option of using my already existing YouTube TV subscription and just changing my location to wherever the game I want to see is being broadcast locally to view it on their local station. Costs me zero additional dollars and no threat of a price increase. Wow!

Does it literally cover all college and professional sports? What about blackouts? Between Sunday ticket and mlb I’m probably paying that much already.

No more money for these people. *insert Jean Luc Picard line drawn here gif*

Well, it doesn't include Paramount, so no CBS NFL games. It doesn't include Comcast-Universal, so no Sunday Night NFL. I don't know about other sports.

Didnt WBD just lose the NBA? What do they have to offer to this mix?

 

[Pape]

Ridiculous price

What do you use? Every VPN service I use gets detected by youtube

Things are already a bit overboard, aren't they? There needs to be an NFL product for each team (ie get all the home pats games, all games, all away games, etc) which should be usable on each service provider ie spectrum cable, ATT Fiber to Whatever it is these days. Then, do something similar to appease the people who did the "cut the cord" bit trying to lower their overall bills (I can't imagine how this is going right now). Other than blatantly ripping people off for having ****ty packages, there is no reason not to have something like this. What sucks is that people will keep feeding the money monster and this will only get worse.

Lol, shoot him a PM and discuss that one privately.

I will venture No.

Somewhere along the season the NFL will pimp out their product to a different/new sports media provider that charges a fee.

IIRC, this was the service that the NFL disapproved of when it was announced. I don't know what, if any, deals have been made with the NFL to alleviate their unhappiness but I guarantee you the NFL is going to want a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE piece of the pie in exchange for showing their games.

Ridiculous pricing. I’ll stream it off a sketchy site on my laptop

And a "federal judge" just threw out the 4.7B jury verdict against the NFL in the Sunday Ticket case.....(laughs in greedy nfl owner evil cackle)

So, what about current espn+ subscribers? We have expn+ thought the disney+ bundle through Verizon Wireless. Do current espn+ subs now need to fork over a ****load of $ for this Venu thing? I have espn+ primarily for Bundesliga Soccer and college softball for my daughter.

Lucky for me that I'm not hooked on their drug.
