New cable model could be a big blow to ESPN

[Suleiman Bey]

Nah, it won't. The NBA gets their NBA League Pass service up to standard and they will make more getting that direct money from the hardcore fans.

Nah.

 

[Easy-E]

They're slow, but they always come around in the end, and we'll always pay the price.

Old money is undefeated

They screwing the shyt outta muscial acts with this 5,000 streams = one sale BS

The days of ESPN being the dominant player are coming to an end.

These companies are taking a hard long look at how the MLB is handling things with MLB.TV

the NBA needs to take a long hard look at offering an apple tv/roku/smartv app with just the league package. for $150, that's a steal if you get EVERY game.

 

[LinusCaldwell]

That's the problem, with their current business model they will always "overpay" to get what they want with a diminishing base that still wants to consume TV content this way.

Nah, this isn't going to work. I'll pay for the NBA/MLB and watch WHATEVER game I want. Blackouts be damned, as slow as MLB was to accept online platforms like YouTube they are showing how to get it done with their MLB.TV package. That shyt has been on point for 15 years already and can't imagine ever going through a season without it tbh.

They even have the option to bypass blackouts now breh, the traditional cable model has been holding on for dear life to try and squeeze every last dollar they can.
