Streaming Networks Combining

[huskyd]

Several tv networks are joining each other to provide competition and to get in on the expanding sports market. Of course, we Husky fans want to know how that will affect us. Will we finally be able to watch all UConn games w/out having to do play channel gymnastics?
In today's NY Times, the Athletic has a long article about the various positions different networks are taking to cash in on the action (How the new deal between Disney and Fubo will impact how fans consume sports TV).
" ESPN’s goal is to meet you, wherever you are." Hey! I'm here buried in the mid-Atlantic watching what the gods allow. I want to be free of restraints and to watch whatever I want to watch whenever I want to watch it. Husky D Unchained!
Will I pay? You betcha.
I'm here! I'm here!

There's actually 2 articles in the Athletic; here's the main one: Venu Sports’ shuttering, explained: Why ESPN, Fox, TNT scrapped launch of streaming service

My guess is it will be a sh *#@$%^ itshow. The games on Fox should be accessible the same way they are now online. Peacock and TNT will also air games so it would be surprising if those games were also on Fox. SNY isn't available where I live so I pay for YouTube and that allows me to stream the games from the Fox app. TNT is included in YouTube but Peacock isn't. Also not clear if TNT games will only be streamed on HBO Max. Perhaps that one is unlikely. YouTube TV is going up in price again, and I am already paying an arm and an Achilles for it. Not going to pay for Peacock too. Catching a few games on the radio won't be too bad. Hope they pick good announcers.

I'm not paying a penny more. I will go without.

I agree. The more the fans give in to streaming, the more streaming will expand.

I called YouTube TV to cancel and they offered me 20 dollars off for the next 6 or 4 months…. So I took it

Could well be, but I have no guarantee I'll be around to watch the Huskies next season, so I'll access the games as best I can, as long as I can.

It can’t be stopped. I went to Spectrum last week to exchange a faulty cable box and was told I don’t need a box anymore, that I could watch through the Spectrum app on our smart tv. They even have packages like Sling now. This is the way tv viewing is going
