YoloinOhio Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 -Disney biggest winner. ABC getting SB and other games = retransmission fee hikes. Also ESPN had smallest % increase. - CBS, NBC, and now Fox have all walked away from TNF. Not sure that will ever come back to broadcast TV. - Mostly status quo except more money
RiotAct Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) will TNF still be on Prime Video too? Nevermind, last paragraph of the article: ”The biggest change will be with “TNF,” which will move from Fox to Amazon Prime and NFL Network. It is unclear what Amazon would be paying.” Edited February 26, 2021 by RiotAct

It seems the only thing left up in the air is the value of the Amazon deal and what happens with any sort of subscription, ie. Sunday Ticket. There shouldn’t be any issue with the cap making a large jump.
without a drought Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 I would've thought that they would lower the price to go along with the lower salary cap.
LabattBlue Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) The biggest question is who will broadcast the SB for ABC/ESPN. Steve Levy? Beth Mowins? Tessitore? Maybe Fowler and Herbie? Enquiring minds want to know? Edited February 27, 2021 by BTB

Sounds like Disney announced something a little too early or some details still to be worked out, but likely close For those who have access to The Athletic good article there today too about broadcast rights and more details. This article does clear up one thing that's been discussed on prior posts. There were some posts stating this is all bogus, there are no new TV deals coming as the NFL just signed new deals with Fox and CBS so nothing is being announced. This article explains while that is true, this deal now spells out the rights and $$ for once those existing deals run out. Basically it's a contract extension so everyone will know what the amounts coming in for close to the next 10 years. The only actual new $$ coming will be the ESPN deal as that expires very soon. The other thing it addresses is all the talk here about how the bulk will be going to a streaming package, because this is a long term deal, likely the opposite is true, the NFL has no plans for any expanded streaming with the exception of Thursday night package. Sunday Ticket may also go to streaming, but may be some type of split transmission deal and that is the one rights package that likely could go down in value as DTV way over paid for it as it was a "loss leader " to them to generate DTV subs. To a new player in town, it will become their bread and butter so need to make money on it. https://theathletic.com/2409140/2021/02/25/nfl-tv-contracts-101-how-deals-with-cbs-fox-espn-nbc-amazon-could-change/ 1

machine gun kelly Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Well, the latest I heard was abc 30%, but the NFL refutes this news. The wide range of percentages are just speculation. One side says 100%, and the other 20%. They’ll end up somewhere in the middle. The good news is once we get past this year, the pie will get bigger.

aristocrat Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 So I got fubo tv and set the zip code to buffalo so I get the Sabres games not that they’re worth a ***** but it’s saved me the coin from having to buy the package.
