Like it or not, watching the Bills is sipping from that cup. Life is not black or white but shades of grey... I don’t pay to watch... Edited February 25 by Don Otreply Quote Link to post Share on other sites

YoloinOhio 52,677 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 -Disney biggest winner. ABC getting SB and other games = retransmission fee hikes.  Also ESPN had smallest % increase. - CBS, NBC, and now Fox have all walked away from TNF. Not sure that will ever come back to broadcast TV. - Mostly status quo except more money Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RiotAct 5,070 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) will TNF still be on Prime Video too?    Nevermind, last paragraph of the article:  ”The biggest change will be with “TNF,” which will move from Fox to Amazon Prime and NFL Network. It is unclear what Amazon would be paying.” Edited February 26 by RiotAct Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It seems the only thing left up in the air is the value of the Amazon deal and what happens with any sort of subscription, ie. Sunday Ticket.  There shouldn’t be any issue with the cap making a large jump. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
without a drought 539 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I would've thought that they would lower the price to go along with the lower salary cap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BTB 1,534 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) The biggest question is who will broadcast the SB for ABC/ESPN. Steve Levy? Beth Mowins? Tessitore? Maybe Fowler and Herbie? Â Enquiring minds want to know? Edited February 27 by BTB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

machine gun kelly 2,838 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Well, the latest I heard was abc 30%, but the NFL refutes this news.  The wide range of percentages are just speculation.  One side says 100%, and the other 20%.  They’ll end up somewhere in the middle.  The good news is once we get past this year, the pie will get bigger.
