The bars/Amazon will figure it out. they’re not going to lose out on the spurts bar revenue.

I guess I won't be watching TNF after this season. I hate Amazon, and everything associated with Amazon...which is a lot as Bezos seems to want to own everything. No chance I'm paying him/them ANY amount for Prime.

That guy sounds every single year in age his picture evidences.

The Amazon thing is pants-on-head stupid. Bars and other establishments don't have streaming/Amazon Prime services. Getting together with buddies to watch the game is half the fun, not sitting by yourself at your computer watching it at your desk.

dude... what are you talking about?

I guarantee you that television will not be dead within 5 years or so. I work in marketing and know how the market is shifting, but it's going to be at least 20+ years until TV is dead. Streaming hasn't even overtaken it in saturation, and even when streaming does, TV will still live on for quite some time, just like print and radio are doing today.

There won't be meaningful change there until the Baby Boomer generation starts to die off, not to be morbid.

I literally work in TV and think it’ll all be but dead within 10 years.

NYT says “The N.F.L. signed new media rights agreements with CBS, NBC, Fox, ESPN and Amazon collectively worth about $110 billion over 11 years, nearly doubling the value of its previous contracts.”

I'm the guy who buys ads for your platform and keeps it alive, and while trends point to a decline, they don't point to death.

Read the rest of my replies? Amazon is not set up to provide NFL streaming to sports bars and other large environments, like Las Vegas sportsbooks. I'm sure the sportsbooks will figure it out first, but the vast majority of bars will just say "sorry, we don't have that game."

You can't simulcast Amazon Prime content on more than 3 devices at once. So if you have a bar with 12 TVs, you need four Amazon Prime subscriptions, 12 fire sticks, and a network infrastructure that can handle 12 HD streams at once (doubt most bars have that). That's a messy setup that most bars will probably just eschew.


I actually cut the cord last year, but calling people a "sucker" for using it doesn't make a ton of sense. My streams are constantly struggling with the amount of strain we're putting on the network in the house, streaming services are constantly bumping up their prices (I went from $67.99/mo in November for Hulu + Live TV, Disney+, ESPN+ bundle to $78.99/mo beginning in 6 days), and they're wildly fractured so you're paying a ton for services.

With a TV service, you can watch whatever you want in any room of your house on however many TVs you own. Streaming services can't offer that.

I feel exactly like you solar but technology keeps changing as you know. Remember back years ago when you could only use so many receivers on one satellite dish? Technology changed that & it will do the same for streaming. In 20 years tv won't even be in the same universe as it is now. It's crazy to think about.

Streaming is irrelevant outside of Thursday night it appears

TV isn't dying. But then again, I consider Amazon Prime as TV, since I watch it on my 10 year old TV.

And yes, the 10-year old TV has 4 different HDMI ports (I have Apple TV, Firestick, etc.

And, I bought it from a friend in Montana who's company sets up TV/Video systems for Restaurants and Bars - a Bar had ordered 10 TV's, but then closed, so I got it brand new at wholesale.

I too come from a marketing background and trained to view things "from the customer on up."

Channel has program. Audience watches program. Audience pays.

That's how it should work (Keep it simple).

When content-providers say "I've got a program but you can't watch it unless you pay for an entire12-month subscription or an exhorbitant fee-for program charge, it's a clunky, confusing way to distribute product.

I hate it.

So how do out of town fans watch a Cardinal game on Sundays? Amazon or some other way?

Haven't heard anything about DTV , I think that contract ends after next season if I'm remembering correctly, but someone will get it no worries

Someone on here wrote that Amazon games are Thursdays games.

Yeah, that's how I read it, but does Amazon only have Thursday games or will I have to subscribe to some other service(s) to get the other 16 games? Already have Amazon Prime, just wondering what other streaming services I'll have to subscribe to.

Yeah, I'm not worried because I know the games will be streamed. I'm just wondering who's going to stream them, once DirecTV is out of the picture.

NFL Media and Hulu announced today a new multi-year carriage agreement to bring NFL Network and NFL RedZone to Hulu’s live TV subscription streaming service Hulu + Live TV by August 1.

Freaking yuck.... Hulu is the worst interface in streaming by far and the only subscription I don’t pay for because of it.... ughhhh I’m assuming this doesn’t preclude the channels from still being on regular providers?

Pretty sure this is just like the deal they made with Youtube TV. I really don't think it means it is exclusive to HULU - just that it will now be available on it.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns fans need streaming options as well. I heard something might happen in 2022 but it's all too vague.

This is my interpretation as well. I have Sling tv and they already have nfl network and redzone. I don’t think the Hulu deal changes anything with the other providers.

I'm pretty sure that would not be an obstacle for Prime to deliver service to bars. All they would have to do is change the limits on how many devices a bar could stream to at once and just charge them a different fee for doing so. All it would take is changing the number of MAC addresses are allowed to stream off the service if I'm not mistaken.
