Only a handful though. But the NFL has been on paid channels for 17 years, and the customer terms are _way_ worse (cable costing >$100/mo, 2-year contracts, etc). Cable companies are just way better than broadcasters at tricking consumers into thinking pay TV is a utility. 6 hours ago, Punching Bag said: Edited March 29 by agilen 1 Quote
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I didn’t cave on that Peacock game, I just didn’t watch football that week. 1 Quote
khlax3 Posted March 29 Posted March 29 It’s super annoying to have to subscribe to a bunch of different services but at the same time it’s $6. You can watch the game then cancel and you still have access for the next 30 days to watch movies and shows. Once again it’s $6 for 4 hours of entertainment. You can’t do anything for $6, going to a move cost 3x that, going to grab fast food costs 2x that, going out to a bar cost a minimum that. For years people said let me just buy the games I want to watch and not pay for the nfl ticket. Well here you go this is that 1 Quote

frostbitmic Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Just wait until all of the games are $6 or more and all on different forms of PPV, it'll take a few years but the NFL will figure it out. Quote

NFL will create multiple shell companies which will own each game with different prices to emulate competition. They better sign an expert available who understands NFL and is expert at lying. I wonder who is available. Quote
ProcessTruster Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Peacock has a pretty good lineup actually. NBC is actually trying to compete. Quote
