I think Peacock does have most of their major sporting events in HDR. I prefer watching SNF on Peacock because the colors definitely pop more even if it's on a streaming delay.

Yup and same with TNF for Amazon. The colors definitely look more vibrant. Hopefully some of the bigger games or playoffs get a 4k option

I hate when people mention the total of the deal. Give us the annual so that we easily can compare with with what’s in place right now.

230m per year per team is what it is. But question is, why 11 years? Seems desperate in times of inflation. 230’ in 11 years might be a 100m in 2024 values for all we know.

But with this size I assume that they’ll buy some swaps to hedge against inflation but it won’t be cheap.

What about the match rights and the inevitability that this was going to court?

Once these deals are official then WBD has 5 days to match and likely lawyers will be involved. The fact that this isn’t official yet tells you WBD isn’t out yet though their chances are small imo

I thought TNT was going to buy the Amazon package

What about the match rights and the inevitability that this was going to court?

From the looks of it...it seems like WBD didn't really want to match that price at the end of the day so the whole matching rights thing doesn't seem to be much a factor

I was wrong, Silver hit the number, but I think it's dumb as fukk at the same time on both parts. The partners gotta get a return on that money. The NBA chopped up the season smaller, sold higher, with declining viewership in the regular season.

Buyer's remorse is a real threat with this deal, maybe not for NBC if they figure out how to slot the schedules right, but for Amazon? Absolutely it can happen. Streamers don't believe in the sunk cost fallacy like networks do if the viewership numbers don't justify it.

nikka shut the fukk up lol.... You clearly don't know shyt about shyt just babbling

 

[thaKEAF]

That shyt still navigate like trash?

It’s straight to me. Not the best interface but still better than some others I’ve used.
