ESPN+ is 11 bucks, Hulu with ads is 8, and max with ads is 10. The real get here is Fox which is kind of impossible to get streaming at a reasonable price (to get FS1 and FS2 on Sling you need the Orange+Blue which is like 60 bucks a month, Fubo is like 80). I could see signing up for a month at the next world cup.
Yikes, it was already exploitative. I basically didn't watch Euro because I didn't want to pay for Sling again just to get access on the app.
Ummm....Hulu doesn't get you live TV with the ads versiopn. You need to get Hulu+ Live TV which is %76/month with ads.
I'm surprised Venu is actually making it to market. A sports skinny bundle without NBC/CBS just seems so... incomplete. How many sports fans are out there that would pay $42 for just some sports channels, but not $75ish for all this plus all the other key sports (and non-sports) networks? Also I'm a bit surprised this wasn't stopped by the courts. Fubo, and others, have always tried to de-bundle sports, but were never allowed to. Now Venu is doing it and probably nobody else can.
Apple TV isn't working for me on Android browsers. The Apple TV and Season Pass home pages are just like screenshots, you can't click on anything. It's happening on two Samsung phones and a LG tablet with Chrome and Kiwi browsers. Season Pass works OK in Chrome on a tablet. The Apple app on a Sky UK box has all the bells and whistles.
Well I guess you could lie about it lol This is with equipment and Internet so I an exaggerating. But cable alone is still like 175.
Hmm… $275 seems too much. Do you subscribe to literally every premium channel/pak available? I have basic plus sports pak for 2 TV’s and I’m paying like $125. Which feels high.
So the women's soccer gold medal game is given a 2 hour window on NBC. It's completed immediately by live track and field. What will NBC do if the game goes to overtime? Also an NBC window means commercials during play. I recommend peacock for this one for sure.
9.0 million viewers for the #USWNT’s #gold medal #football win on NBC and Peacock, the network says.No word from Telemundo yet, but we’ll get it in the coming days.(19.5 million for the men’s #basketball final, peaking at 22.7 million.)#Paris2024 #Olympics— Jonathan Tannenwald (@thegoalkeeper) August 11, 2024 I guess winning and being the best in your sport does help with popularity here in the US. Now this is only my theory but I think this is the reason MLS isn't popular and hated so much. They are frustrated that we (US) don't have the best league in the world so they take their frustrations out on MLS. That's why they want to emulate EPL so much. They think that if we do we will be the next EPL. It's also the same reason why I think USMNT isn't as popular in its own country as the USWNT is.
Probably truth to this although I’ve noticed it’s not that uncommon for some of the anti-MLS USMNT crowd to talk crap about English soccer as well, and how the EPL isn’t ideal because England can’t win a major tournament. It’s a weird subgenre of Eurosnobism.

I’m calling shenanigans on this. IMO I cannot see MLS directly getting involved in women’s pro soccer from the league level. Not to mention that MLS ownership groups have stakes in NWSL and USL Superleague teams already.
I hope you're right. MLS shouldn't get involved with woman's sports. The only thing I could see is starting an Academy system and maybe selling players.
