Surprise! Thursday Night Football not available for streaming on Sling, PS Vue

Plenty was made of Twitter’s live streaming debut of Thursday Night Football heading into the Jets-Bills game on Thursday night. But Sling and PlayStation Vue customers who bought NFL Network and expected to watch the game on either of those platforms were dealt a rude awakening on Thursday night – the game, and all Thursday Night Football games streaming on Twitter, wasn’t available by watching NFL Network.

Sling’s response was simple – they don’t have the rights to the game because it’s streaming on Twitter. Sling also clarified that because the game was airing on CBS, a network they don’t offer, they also couldn’t offer the game on the NFL Network stream.

As for PlayStation Vue, they proactively tweeted before the game that it would be available for streaming on Twitter and through CBS, if available.

Viewers can expect more of this kind of platform exclusivity as TV delivery becomes more diversified. The recording industry would like to do the same thing with music, where you might only hear certain songs on certain delivery systems.
