New NFL TV Deals with Disney, NBC, FOX, CBS, & Amazon yield $110 billion over 11 years

They aren’t going to bush network TV partners

Amazon would probably get hit hy anti-monopoly laws if they tried that

The NFL wouldn't but fans would with the quickness.
Imagine everyone in the country having access to every game every Sunday
Folks wouldn't be stuck watching 2 options in one slot and 1 in the other. Those broadcast ratings would drop significantly
You'd be surprised how many nfl fans don't give a whoop about the team in their market that they're forced to watch every week

That’s what I’m wondering. Giving Sunday Ticket to Prime members who are already subscribed with no extra work for subscribers to do would be unbelievable. But does it come with an eventual price hike? I’m in either way.

Wonder who will help Amazon produce that TNF game if they get it.

ESPN/Disney better come out winning somehow in this deal if they’re gonna keep MNF...especially after paying annually double what the others have paid for the last 15 years and getting lackluster game scheduling...and getting fukked over by the introduction of TNF.

I think most folks would pay the hike for the availability. Most folks already got prime which is what 120 year? So unless they went super high on the bump I see most people buying in cause it'd still be cheaper than some bullshyt direct TV
fukk espn and Disney. I hope they continue to get fukked. Their production is complete trash.

Have random stars just pop up in the most drug infested spots in America to see who can move the most work before the cops show up

Winner gets to donate 1 million to the charity of their choice at the end of the season as the winner.

I got more details written down in my notepad, but I'd want the following for season 1

Betty White
Samuel Jackson
Dr Fauci
Gladys Knight
Pink
Corey Feldman
Rickey Smiley
Albert Belle
Michael Irvin
Newt Gingrich

Dr Fauci: "I can't move this....strange substance. Its intense and probably got Corona in the package"

7. THE NEW NFL TV DEALS. You may have noticed that the glam Super Bowl matchup of Brady vs. Mahomes didn’t deliver the TV rating the NFL would have liked. The ratings were down 9 percent from last year. That may be because ratings are the average number of people watching throughout the game, and surely people switched off the 31-9 contest when it was a snoozer midway through the second half. But the NFL isn’t too concerned. Ratings for the NBA Finals were down more than 50 percent in 2020 from 2019, even with LeBron James playing; prime-time programming across all networks is down more than 18 percent from last season. And the NFL’s streaming numbers—5.7 million Americans streamed the game eight days ago—were up more than 60 percent from last year.

Why am I telling you all this? Because the NFL is close—“within a month,” one source told me at the Super Bowl—to inking new 10-year contracts with its network partners that could result in an aggregate increase of 70 to 100 percent in rights fees from the last contract. The new contract may not be a revolution; I’m hearing most major packages will likely remain with their current broadcast partners, with the exception of a possible streaming package on Thursday nights. Amazon is the favorite there. Whether the Thursday night package, if streamed, would include a cable element like NFL Network, or simply be telecast on local channels of the two participating teams, is something I don’t know.

I’m also hearing ESPN could be an ESPN/ABC simulcast, and also could be the beneficiary of additional flexing for part of the Monday night package, if ESPN indeed wins Mondays. It’s no secret in the TV business that ESPN, which pays more for the games and for significant other highlights and programming elements than the other networks, wants a stronger Monday night schedule. That could be controlled if, say, the final few weeks of the season could allow flexing from a weak Monday matchup scheduled in May to a better matchup moved from Sunday a week or so prior to the game.

The ESPN package expires after the 2021 season, while the other deals are done after the 2022 season. Getting the deals done now could provide the league with the influx of cash it needs to not have the salary cap crush teams in March.

Disney's negotiation
Disney's Monday Night Football deal is for more than just the games. Disney also gets highlight rights for ESPN, branding rights for shows, and — importantly — streaming rights.

The league has asked Disney to pay the same type of increase as its other partners because Disney is asking for more from the NFL this time around — including double-header Monday Night games, where one game airs on ABC, the Disney-owned broadcast network, the people said. Disney also wants ABC to become part of the Super Bowl rotation with NBC, CBS, and FOX. ABC was the home of Monday Night Football until 2005.

Disney also wants flexibility in terms of streaming rights as the company considers selling ESPN as a direct-to-consumer product. The NFL plans to include streaming rights as part of each network package, the people said.

Further, the NFL wants to add an 18th week of regular-season play as soon as next season. That's an extra game for Disney — and every other broadcast partner.

Spokespeople for the NFL and the networks declined to comment.

Wonder how this’ll affect the cap

About $185 million from what I'm hearing. Disney/ESPN called the NFL's bluff when they were asking for a 100% percent increase and ended up not getting close to that. Also, I'm sure the NFL isn't happy that they will the be the entity producing the TNF games, but that's what they get for trying to be greedy lol.

With as much bread as Amazon has to spare, you would think that they'd try and get in on the producing route

Horribly worded tweet but:

-DIRECTV is out of the NFL and ESPN+ gets it
-Amazon Prime exclusive home of Thursday Night Football
-11 year deal opt out after 7 years. ESPN, CBS, FOX and NBC continue doing their games

EDIT: Disregard. Looks like that was some fake news.
