Anyone still want to try and tell me how the Golden Goose is dieing??? It it dies - and it could - it's likely to be a longer term thing. The short term and the longer term don't always line up. More, I seem to recall one or two cases previous of television executives making bad decisions. Maybe I'm just imagining that, maybe they've always been perfect.

FOX will simulcast NFL Network’s Thursday, consisting of the first round, and Friday coverage, which includes rounds two and three. It’s unclear what will happen on Saturday for rounds four through seven. Per Ourand, FOX has commitments for the third day of the 2018 draft, and it may not be able to adjust them.

sullim4 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 This makes no sense to me at all. Why would FOX pay for the draft if they: (a) Aren't bothering to send a production crew and are just simulcasting the NFL Network, (b) Don't want to air all three days, and (c) Have to compete for eyeballs with ESPN's broadcast in addition to the NFL Network's I understand it's built into the Thursday Night package price, but this still doesn't make any sense. The only thing FOX gets is a broadcast exclusive out of the deal. If you are the type of person who watches any significant amount of the draft, it's highly unlikely you're a cord cutter and highly likely you at least have ESPN if not the NFL Network.

MrEpsYtown Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 There are going to me a lot more commercial breaks. There will be even less of chance that any analysis of Buffalo Bills pics will actually make it on to TV because they will either be in commercial during our picks, or go to commercial right after our pick is made.

The only reason to hang onto cable is for watching sports, which is a crazy amount of money to just watch sports IMO. The NFL and FOX is trying to stay ahead of the public, so they can still watch the draft even if people are cutting the cord. They didn't say how much this deal is, but that it ties into the Thursday Night football Package. I got rid of cable a month ago, but am trying out SLING tv which has about a minute or so delay. This deal actually makes a lot of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are the type of person who watches any significant amount of the draft, it's highly unlikely you're a cord cutter and highly likely you at least have ESPN if not the NFL Network. The reason this makes sense is because the world is moving away from block rate cable and moving to select channels. This is already happening a lot with companies like Dish and Directtv, and will soon reach into the network channels where you only pay for what you want to watch. The move towards sports is fox's last ditch effort to stay relevant among the network channels as they haven't been able to stay competitive while producing television shows.

Iwas trying to guess what "how much money is TV making?" meant. If you are asking how much ad revenue is the NFL brining to the networks that broadcast the games---I think you only conclude the answer is "more money than it costs to broadcast the games". As of the end of 2017, ad revenue was 3.7 billion, up 16% over the year before. That's a massive increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Does this mean we'll get to see the Bills picks ? If it were still just NFLN/ESPN I would expect ... With the 20th pick, the Detroit Lions select xxx player, now we're going to commercial break. After returning from commercial break, with the 23rd pick in the 2018 draft the xxx team selects xxx player. After that we'd get the obligatory, "during the commercial break the Bills at #21 took WR XXX and at #22 the Bills took CB XXX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
