Reed83HOF Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) The NFL finalized media rights deals worth $10B annually, or $110B over the course of the 11-year deals. For many consumers, the new deals will look largely like the last deals, with the big TV packages remaining unchanged on CBS, Fox, NBC and ESPN, albeit for much bigger rights fees, and many more...

johnnywo Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Will it result in DirecTv giving up rights to a better online version of Sunday Ticket? I hope so. I don't mind DTV but it sure is expensive. Too much inconsistency for me to rely on one of those "boxes" or links to watch the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The empty stands are not guaranteed to be filled this fall. Wishful thinking perhaps at this point in March. Time will tell, but we could be in another lockdown. Big bucks will not be wagered on the come wrt full fan viewing this next year. Its in the contract, and, I was taught by some union folks, the contract is the contract.

NBC, CBS and Fox will also have the ability to stream games they hold the rights to." Hopefully it'll be one-stop shopping for channel-changing sake.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out. If I'm reading everything correctly, it doesn't start until 2023. Who knows if ESPN+ will have better pricing, we'll find out in a couple years. I'm currently not a subscriber. I gave up my DirecTV account a few years ago as the pricing was getting out of hand. Luckily the Bills are getting more prime time games so I'm not missing as many games as I used to. Satellite TV, in my opinion, is on the way out. Streaming services will take over. Although I guess you can technically call it Satellite TV if you get your internet via Elon's StarLink service 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2112 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 It will be interesting to see if the out-of-market NFL games are included with the subscription to ESPN+ and/or Amazon Prime, or if there will be an additional cost. Also, it will be interesting to see how that might work with any type of DVR service. I have been with Directv/Sunday Ticket for a number of years and rely heavily on my DVR for Bills games. As much as I dislike Directv, sometimes the devil you know is better than the one you don't. It's a pain in the butt, but almost every year, with enough effort, Directv and Sunday Ticket can be negotiated to a reasonable price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each team lost 20mil to spend because of what, a week? My suspicion is that they didn't want to. All the talk last spring around the collective bargaining agreement was that the NFL was pressuring to get it done so they could sign new TV contracts. My guess is that they had the deals all worked out last spring and then Covid hit. They could have signed it at any time but by waiting until after the start of the new NFL year, the cap is set low and they can recoup some of the lost revenue from fanless stadiums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
