Just wait till they split up the three channels you want and instead say "we have three basic subscriptions in each you get one sports channel, one news, 300 pastors streaming church, and 100 music channels"

Hey, I'm fine with paying up for one service if it is all bundled like this.

The interesting thing will be to see how much they gatekeep this.

Will they pull fs1, ESPN, etc from DirecTV? Cable? YouTube TV?

Not if they are under contract.

Of course CBSSN isn’t part of it…so we will need to get that separately somehow.

It would be nice to just be able to pick the channels you want and not pay for all of the excess stuff you never watch.

I doubt they'll pull channels, but you can bet that big events will be only shown on that new service.

CBS, NBC and Peacock not mentioned nor is Prime. Would you be locked in for your local FOX/ABC station. I know for most folks that would not be a problem, but here in New Jersey it is. I live one mile over the county line which puts me the Philly local market. If I lived just a mile north in the next county I would be in the New York market. It would be nice to choose which local market you prefer. It gets even weirder for the regional networks. Even though I am in the Philly market for broadcast channels I am in the NY market for Hockey and Basketball MSG, but not baseball YES or SNY.

Hope y'all ready to pay up

If the NCAA expanded the number of teams in the Basketball tournament and this joint venture got the rights that would increase the number of channels that could carry the games.

As is always the case, prime will be of prime importance.

YouTube TV is $73/month and includes all the sports networks the new service does except ESPN+. It also includes a few sports networks the new service doesn't, such as CBS SportsNet, NBA Network, Golf Channel, etc. As well as numerous basic cable channels - AMC, FX, and so on.

If they charge $50 for the new service, would one rather pay $23 more and get all the other stuff? How about if they charge only $40?

Yep. I don't see that happening, but that's what I would like also.

I have the same issue. I live in Indian River County, FL, which is the extreme north end of the Palm Beach television market. Micco, in Brevard County, is about 10 miles away and is the extreme south end of the Orlando television market. Not sure there's a heck of a lot of difference (we're about the same distance to both) but the decision was made long ago by some marketing entity.

My advice would be to find an extremely good high definition antenna and see if you can get New York from your home with the antenna.

For the NFL, Orlando is Tampa Bay's primary market. Palm Beach is the Dolphins. So I splurge for the NFL Sunday package to get the Packers and, at times, the Bears, or I go to a bar.

I think this is good news for the next BE media rights deal - at least dollar value wise. I think we will be seeing more streaming regardless of who our main provider is, but I think Fox or ESPN will still be interested in the most impactful games from the BE.

My Chicago area BIL would easily understand why you watch the Bears in a bar.

Residences generally can't hold enough liquor! I was a Bears season ticket holder for 28 years.

Lots of bad football sandwiched around molecules of good play.

Time is a flat circle. Will be fascinated to see the price tag

The talking heads on CNBC had it at $45/month.

The way the New York teams, especially football, are playing right not it is not worth the effort.

I think this new sports app will start at $35. I have You Tube TV and love it now with multiview.
