[QUOTE="Dman374, post: 997097, member: 6785"] Turns out I was dead wrong about the Bally Sports Plus (Streaming App) having the Braves. They only own the streaming rights to 5 MLB teams... so looks like I'm going to have to get creative this season. One of the reasons I asked this question was to try to figure out how do you get to these TV rights deal numbers in a post cable world? Cable isn't dead yet, I get it, and it's looking more and more from the poll that I am the crazy person here, but what does it look like in 4 or 10 years when some of these deals are renegotiated? I think Amazon is onto something... potentially. Let's say ESPN launches a new subscription app, where you can actually watch ALL their live channels unlike ESPN plus. They jack the price up to $14.99/month, or $99/year and copy Apple, or even let's say $29.99/Month or $300/Year. I'd seriously consider paying for it, if I could stream all of the games. which would include the random CW game they subbed out, but you get my point. Same would go for Fox/CBS/NBC. Is it a pain in the -_- to download the app, yes. Is it a pain in the a$> to switch games if you don't have multiple TV's in the living room during football season? Yes. But I'd personally pay $9.99 or whatever it cost to watch that one can't miss game on Peacock then immediately cancel.
