Well and YouTube TV, Hulu Live, DirecTV Stream, etc. are no different than a cable\satellite company in that they're linear TV first, VOD second. They're all in the same boat in terms of price hikes, blackouts, etc. They're just new, so a bit more shiny.

Theres so much free streaming out there now with commercial breaks its cutting the big players throats. Im about to cancel netflix since their repository has turned to shit and they keep boosting prices. I only use prime video becaus eits included. The only market winner right now seems to be youtube tv On Thu, Sep 7, 2023 at 7:00 AM Dennis Burgess < dmburg...@linktechs.net > wrote: Networks, etc., are dead, my opinion. On demand is where it is at, ZERO commercials needed. I don’t watch sports, nor have a “network TV service”. Netflix and YouTube premium is about it. Lots of options, zero commercials, I don’t think I have seen a commercial in at least 5 years. Lol, unless at someone else’s home. The only issue is the decentralization of the streaming industry now, originally it was Netflix and that was about it, Disney is making crappy decisions, raising rates, you add HBO, Paramount, etc, and you are back to a cable bill. Disney keeps removing content, witch sucks for consumers and the people who helped make the movies. Movie houses are also going belly up, less and less of them.

Talking heads are making it out to be a big deal. They'll both lose a lot of money. Charter may not survive.... pay tv may not survive.... my take? per 1,000 facebook posts here last Saturday as SEC football kicked off, they're all dropping whatever charter they had left and going to youtube tv. meaning it's all being dumped on our networks (ok, no worries). disney isn't going to lose that revenue, now it's just coming in from a different pay-tv provider. so i see charter being the big loser. Those SEC football fans are going to find a way to get the feed. Seems youtube tv is now getting their money - - - if they weren't before. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
