Netflix wants to steal NFL Sunday package from either FOX or CBS in 2029

[Rekkapryde]

Its not happening

espn tried that 15-20 years ago and they took less money to keep their main Sunday packages on broadcast tv and told them nikkas they could only get Monday Night Football

They aren’t dumb like the NBA

they know the biggest audience and the most ad money is on broadcast tv

Capitalism has no morals. These owners, esp the new ones who paid billions, won't hesitate to get a quicker ROI.

They won't completely abandon terrestrial TV, but I wouldn't be shocked to see Netflix get some Sunday games, especially if they pay a premium.

It will suck, but greed has no morals.

Netflix pulls in an average of 3.5 billion per month with over 300 million users payin nearly 12 dollars a month on average across the planet.

They got the bread.

Owners are going to absolutely opt out of the current deal in 2029. That's going to be when things get interesting.

Both SMW’s article and this tweet by TV Grim Reaper explain why it’s not a given CBS and FOX retain Sunday afternoon package. While, cable is basically in decline, network TV also faces similar financial concerns with how things that shifted to streaming, albeit a bit slower. FOX and CBS might be able to retain, but they will have be creative to make it work imo.

The more the NFL tries to make its games exclusive to streaming platforms, they will slowly lose ratings.

The cream of the NFL rating crop has always been the fact that they are one of the only major sports leagues that, 95% of the time, broadcast their games on free over-the-air, antenna, etc, TV.

I still remember from a couple of seasons ago, a Playoff game between the Chiefs and Dolphins was exclusively on Peacock and received its lowest-rated playoff game.

What’s ratings if fewer and fewer people watch TV in that way. Then ratings crowd are beginning to sound like Envy, Flex and them when they were beefing over radio ratings

The nfl care about reaching people to generate money, not ratings.

Most ridiculous contract I've ever seen. Not one ounce of experience and instantly becomes the highest paid announcer

Again, they can put 2 Coli nikkaz up there and people would watch. Severe overpay but get that bread Thomas.

Ratings is just a means of generating revenue...and its an outdated one at that. Content is king right now. And if you can get right to the money up front why go through the song and dance? Look at the NBA ratings people been going on and on about for years. Now look at how you had all these networks bidding and the deal they got. NFL should be able to get 3, 4, 5 times that.. again without selling one ad. I was just talking to my bros about how its a matter of when, not if, in regards to a streaming only SB. I give it another decade.

Bingo. All that matters is the money these leagues generate. People arguing about the wrong things.

Does tv grim reaper sound like a non biased source?

Network television is a dying medium and there's no other way to spin it.

Cable is dying, not so much broadcast TV. You can't match something that's free.

The NFL won't do it. A big part of their success is that their games are free OTA locally. Netflix Ad views aren't touching that.

Netflix will need to add a free-tier for it to be realistic.

Is it going to be cheaper... That's all I care about

My brother in Christ why would it be cheaper

Coli is stuck in the past streaming is where everything is headed

Games would still be free OTA in local markets just like now if your team played on Amazon or Netflix recently. Everyone else would need to pay up.

You're describing Sunday Ticket. That's not what Netflix is looking for. Read the article

I'm not describing Sunday Ticket, I'm describing the actual policy that has been around.

For example, Ravens vs Steelers playoff game was broadcast nationally on Amazon. However, people in Baltimore and Pittsburgh were able to watch on a free local channel.

Same as when the Ravens played on Netflix a few weeks prior.

How to Watch the Ravens vs. Texans Christmas Game on Netflix

The Ravens (10-5) travel to Houston to face the Texans (9-6) at 4:30 p.m. EST on Christmas Day in a game that will be aired on Netflix.

Here's how you can watch, listen to, and live stream the game:

Watch on TV
Local TV: CBS Ch. 13 (Baltimore TV market only)

How to watch, listen, and stream Houston Texans vs Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday, December 25 at 3:30 p.m. CT

HOW TO WATCH THE TEXANS GAME
TV broadcast: Texans vs Ravens is available on NETFLIX nationally and internationally
Houston-area broadcast: KHOU-CBS in Houston

It has always worked this way.

Whether a game is broadcast "exclusively" on ESPN, NFL Network, Amazon, Netflix, the game has to be made available to local fans of the teams involved via a free tv, local network affiliate.



idk the exact law but I am sure it's related to one of their anti trust exemptions.

But they want it for Sunday afternoon games, not nationally televised games. Read the article.
