Yes, as the cable/broadcasters continue to die, they will see their salvation in over-paying for sports properties.  Using the news argument again, 10 to 15 years ago the three networks were paying huge salaries to anchors and that was a signal of "health" for network news.  It was always going to be the most important form of news dissemination.  Instead, we now know it was the act of a desperate industry trying to stay relevant.  Same for cable/broadcast with sports.

+1. We shouldn't be looking at the huge money that ESPN and Fox are (still) willing to shell out for broadcast rights and authomatically assume its a good business proposition or reflects the health of the model.  Its just the least bad option they feel they have left to continue in their current form.

This is certainly true. I'm a big IndyCar guy, and NBCSN going away is probably worse news for that series than any other entity (just signed a new NBC deal, aging fan demographic that won't migrate well to online delivery, etc).  So from that perspective I'm bummed.  But NBCSN programming always felt like a shotgun blast.  NHL games outside the sunday afternoon game, the golf that was left over after premier tournaments were picked over and that wasn't otherwise aired on the Golf Channel, olympic sports, some miscellaneous autosports and mecum stuff. You can't really cobble together justification for a whole channel on that.

Don't forget the Tour De France during the entire month of July (in non-pandemic years).

It makes sense because the economics of the USA Network and the rest are dying and they are desperate to keep it afloat while they figure out what to do next.

If you are not a subscriber to ESPN+ ... that will be the future of sports.  A cheap online aggregator that provides everything on every platform at once.  The days of searching for a sporting event between TBS, TNT, USA etc is the last breathes of a dying cable/broadcast business.

But Heisey's point is that eventually we will be watching Packer games exclusively online.  I don't think that is going to happen anytime soon.  Maybe once the broadcast cable and the internet are even more seemless than they are now, but that is still a ways off.

Sure you will start to see marginal rights deals decrease in value, but you will likely see the big ones actually go up.  Because they are still valuable properties.

Why do you turn everything into a personal attack?

But there is no way the NFL, or other major sports properties, are going to forego the massive rights fees to sell a streaming service.  They will quickly find that people have better things to do.  Maybe at sometime in the future, but that is still decades away when the technology becomes easier to deal with.

Now you could see Sunday Ticket moved to Amazon Prime Video or something like that.  But most people are going to stick with whatever games they can get when they turn on their television.

Hardly.  I just look at the landscape and see major broadcast networks looking prepared to write another set of large checks to broadcast sporting events on their networks - not on streaming platforms.  I don't think local audiences will be watching Packer games on those platforms anytime soon, unless that is where the NFL Sunday Ticket goes.

Maybe in the next decade or two.

Netflix has 200 million subscribers (as they reported last week) which is twice the number of cable subscribers in the United States (and cable growth is negative).  70% of all households in the United States have an Amazon Prime account, more than get digital over the air broadcasts in the United States

Imagine the penetration they will have when they get easy to use!!!

In the end, this statement is more about you (as in your age and resistance to adapt) than a comment on the state of technology.

No it really isn't.  I have both an Netflix account and Amazon Prime.  I also have cable television.  These aren't either/or choices.  They are simply different ways to consume entertainment.

And I doubt the major live sporting events will migrate in that direction anytime soon.  Marginal ones?  Sure.  Left over games like we saw in the old BE?  Yep.  But regular in-market NFL games and other marquee events?  Not soon.

Or, networks are desperate to stay relevant and they think they have one way to do it, over-pay for sports broadcasting rights.

Netflix and Amazon could easily outbid the networks.  Why don't they?  The answer is they don't need to overpay for sports to stay relevant.

It is not a sign of health, and it is not going to take 20 years to change.

If you remove sports from ABC/NBC/CBS/Fox, what is their value?  Zero?

What properties or content do they have other than sports that you watch?  Maybe some random show here or there ... which you can get on Hulu anytime you want?

This is why they overpay for sports rights.  And again, how do we know they overpay?  Because if what they paid represented value, Amazon, Google, Facebook, and/or Netflix would outbid them.

Aren’t the ratings for live sports still much higher than anything else on TV? NFL for sure. I have to assume the NBA is doing better than many TV shows. Now, maybe not high enough to justify the crazy rights deals we saw the last 10-20 years. But until those rating are more in-line with regular shows, I assume things won’t change too much other than dollar amounts.

I don't know about the second part. And as the content gets more segmented and subscription fees add up, you may see a push back the other way.

Cable and broadcast TV is losing audience.  Sports TV ratings are losing audience.  NBCSN is closing.  ESPN is laying off employees. 

Define death knell?


Something that results in fewer major college and pro sports being available on TV (or some other easily accessible platform) for me to watch.

As I sit here today, on 1/23/21, I am not concerned.

We will see what happens in the next round of television deals that will be coming due in the next few years.  There could be even greater stratification in the P5 conferences with the SEC and Big 10 making significantly more than the ACC, Big 12 and Pac 12.

Does this possibility mean another round of realignment?  Does Texas make a jump to the Big Ten prior to its contract expiring in 2023?

And what does this mean for the BE when its deal is done in 2025?  I am thinking you are going to see a relative decrease.

Why do you see a decrease for the Big East? Other than the next Nascar deal, every sports league is getting an increase.

Relative decrease...  So a decrease in comparison to what the other leagues get.

NBCSN was at $.42/month/subscriber. That is super low.
Meanwhile USA Network was at $1.61/month in 2019, $1.66 in 2020 and a $1.75 in 2021.

This. I utilize a lot of streaming services but I refuse to watch Marquette games or Packers games on those services. It's far easier and I don't have to deal with the anxiety of a potential bad WiFi connection.

I used to have occasional outages or slowdowns when I had traditional cable-based internet, but I switched to fiber optic several months back and haven't had any problems. It's nice not having to worry about high demand by other users in my area.
