Professional boxing PPV’d their way into irrelevance. When fans stop paying and discover there is something else to do maybe the NFL will suffer the same fate. Yea their will be tipping point at some point. doesn’t really have much to do with what is going with this but the greed part of this made me think of it. When Rozelle was commissioner he was against legalized betting on the NFL cause of what it could do to the integrity of the game. Money finally trumped integrity with a team in Vegas and commercials during games advertising for sports betting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW i use Fire Cube or Fire Stick with a VPN. Sunday Ticket early bird cost $299 if you were a YouTube TV subscriber. $399 if you got it a la carte to watch via YouTube. I bought it. The Chiefs were on National / Local TV here in FL probably 14 of 17 weeks this year. Back in the day, I’d see the Chiefs on Sunday Ticket 14 of 16 games because they never aired nationally / locally. Mahomes Money Maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More exactly, will the usual sports bars be showing the game since it's limited to Peacock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirecTV still has a commercial license to Sunday Ticket for bars, restaurants, venues, etc. I am not aware of any of that extending to post season. Wouldn’t surprise me if such a commercial agreement exists for the playoff game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkuenn 3,597 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I hope it fucking bombs. I can see it for free because I have a firestick etc. I hope many go online to illegally stream it where the numbers font count and this gets 4 million viewers.

Boone 304 Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 I'm part of the problem. I live in NC, so I ponyed up the $5.99 for one month to watch the game. Not going to keep it, though. Given the numbers, I'd bet they have an exclusive streaming Divisional Round game next year, too. artsy and oldtimer 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qnet 1,150 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I thought about getting it, but decided against it out of spite, LOL; which doesn't hurt Peakcock and the NFL at all. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spfdchiefsfan 621 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 They did ok. The question is, how much money did they actually make? 23,000,000 and lets say $6 for 1 month. That's only 138 million. That IF everyone of those subscribed for the game, I would bet A LOT of those were already subscribed. Then you talk about production costs and all that, I bet the netted a profit of only a couple million(maybe). My actual guess is they lost money on it! Which is fine with me.

Peacock payed $110M this is an interesting read to put everything in perspective https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/2024/01/peacock-playoff-game-averages-23-million-viewers-sets-internet-traffic-record/ qnet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCK Chiefs Fan 425 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 The NFL doesn't give a damn about the fans watching a game. They just want the $$$$$$. Because of my work schedule I can not watch the games anyway so I subscribed to NFL Premium for $14.99 a month and can listen to the games live at work and then watch the replays after work or the next day. It's not the same as watching the game live, but at least I can hear what's going on and then watch it after work or at my leisure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If KC's not on the local airwaves, I just avoid the media and watch the game replay on Sunday evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnet 1,150 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I've read the stream wasn't working so well for some folks. That would have really pissed me off had I paid for it. This type of stuff is what made me cancel my NFL+ subscription. The last few years, there were times were I couldn't access the games the next day for several weeks. When they finally fixed it, the attitude seemed to be "oh well it's working now so don't worry about it" I finally had enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
