A major Collaboration just Announced

YouTube TV is safe, at least during the last 4 months of the year, since they have NFL Sunday Ticket. Beyond that, they could easily be replaced depending on the monthly price. I know I'll be checking it out, once more details are made available.

This might put nails in the Paramount+ and Peacock coffins, as far as sports fans are concerned, though.
 
what is happening is the cableization of Streaming, and these streaming services will find a loophole if Net Neutrality makes a comeback.

Unless they team up for a competing service that would have The Masters and the Super Bowl.

The new group wouldn't include Amazon YouTube or Apple either.

Speaking for myself, I'm not interested in five monthly bills. I want to pay once and get all the sports together.
 

Here is more some of this is coming from Nelson Peltz who is one of the investors advising Disney where to go.

Walt Disney (DIS.N) CEO Bob Iger hit back at activist investors on Wednesday with a slew of announcements, including a splashy investment in "Fortnite" maker Epic Games and plans to launch an ESPN streaming service in 2025.

Iger revealed the plans after Disney's board of directors authorized a $3 billion share repurchase program for the current fiscal year, and declared a dividend of 45 cents a share, a 50% increase from the dividend paid in January. Earnings-per-share topped Wall Street forecasts.
Together, the moves helped boost Disney shares nearly 7% in after-hours trading.

The company has been under pressure from activist investor Nelson Peltz, who is seeking Netflix-like profit for its streaming business, better box-office performance of its movies and more details about its plans to make ESPN a dominant digital platform.

Peltz is asking shareholders to add himself and former Disney executive Jay Rasulo to the company's board.

One thing Peacock will still have going for it sports-wise is the Olympic games, which obviously only amounts to a few weeks or a month total, every few years.

What'd be amazing is if this group could possibly jump in with at least some of the MLB, NBA and NHL teams who are having issues with or might lose their Regional Sports Networks.

Unless CBS parent Paramount Global and NBC parent Comcast join this effort, they're going to be big losers.

I wouldn't be very surprised if CBS/Paramount Global and NBC-Universal/Comcast eventually become a part of this proposed sports streaming service. They may have no choice.

There was some chatter late in the week of their combining streaming services. If so, you'd need only two for all major sports and entertainment in the U.S.

i never got a good understanding of this but why did Turner flip court tv to tru tv in the first place? I didn’t understand the difference between tru tv and tbs then and I don’t now. I feel they’d be best doing this all on TNT
