NBA is a global sport so they have that going for them, unlike the NFL
Yep someone will always pay for the sport cause advertisers make millions on the sport. shyt we got a multi billion dollar gym shoe industry just cause of basketball.

not disputing any of that. i have a hard time seeing it match the money for the current set of rights fees. if its a non exclusive deal, it will also cost far less for each service to broadcast games. if its not exclusive its not a package that will be worth the price the current rights fees draw. how much money is netflix going to pay for something that every person on facebook already has access to?Breh, most of them won't be selling league passes, it will be the broadcast model, you got an account on the platform, you're all good. AD dollars are how broadcast stations make money on what they paid to air games, it will be the same for these online properties except advertisers will pay more per spot (even if buying fewer spots) because of how targeted their spend will be.
You're definitely going to see a huge distribution of league rights in the next contracts, no network is going to go out its way to be the primary rights holder. I fully expect to see amazon, google, hulu, apple, possibly netflix and Facebook end up with games in addition to the abc/TNT/espn's
GeneralCan we get a list in the op?
Never know who might be interested. The only reason WWE bought WCW was because of the library, and they've more than up for that purchase. Another company might do the same for ESPN because of all their archived content.Who would want to buy it?

I'm 33 I"m not cutting the cord, and most of the people my age cutting the cord, aren't cutting it for real, they getting passwords from HBO and cable providers from their parents to subsidize their hulu or netflix membership.
I think ESPN and Fox will benefit from making their channels interactive on screen with cable operators and sat providers. Allow the provider to link the users account to their service and playoff their viewing habits so when they turn to the ESPN station they get content directed towards their likes, like favortie team scores, favorite spot scores, and stories, and etc.
They wouldn't be airing the same games, same way cbs and fox don't air the same NFL gamesnot disputing any of that. i have a hard time seeing it match the money for the current set of rights fees. if its a non exclusive deal, it will also cost far less for each service to broadcast games. if its not exclusive its not a package that will be worth the price the current rights fees draw. how much money is netflix going to pay for something that every person on facebook already has access to?
They let Jade Mcarthy go tooIm surprised she was let go...she was one of their better eyecandies
and in turn for offering all these sports at current rights fees prices, their own prices will go up, and consumers would need 3/4 seperate services which would cost more than they do currently, and would end up paying near the same levels they do now which they are cutting away from in droves?They wouldn't be airing the same games, same way cbs and fox don't air the same NFL games
You're completely missing the point. Facebook is free, amazon is free - prime isn't, but it is pretty much a bargain for frequent shoppers due to free 2 day shipping, the content and other media perks are now a bonus, youtube is free....these companies make a killing from advertising and data mining without charging us a dime and most people have accounts on all these platforms. For the paid platforms, prices go up occasionally anyway, they won't have some huge jump due to how much cash they're raking in, and yes, they can charge a premium for sports, but since they're not doing something stupid like Sunday ticket (giving acces to every game) the price won't be much. If someone has to pay $29 for the netflix nfl season package, that's still markedly less than cable.and in turn for offering all these sports at current rights fees prices, their own prices will go up, and consumers would need 3/4 seperate services which would cost more than they do currently, and would end up paying near the same levels they do now which they are cutting away from in droves?
