Who’s Going To Pay For Peacock vs Indiana?





Penn state also exclusively on Peacock. Still 4 games TBA that could end up in the same boat. Pretty surprised no network picked this one up.
 


I'm not paying extra.
This is a bad move.
I cut the cord from wired television through cable/phone companies because the value of what I could get with YTTV was more than the wired version. This meant losing STL Cardinals and Blues. Former Cardinals season ticket holder who probably watched an average of 70-80% of games in a season since the late 90s when I lived in DSM and FS1 was born.

It's been 4 seasons now without Cardinals or Blues broadcasts for me. Haven't been to a game since the glorious COVID era when you got a whole row to yourself. So good.

Cardinals attendance down by 628,000 this season.
I know it's not all down to cord cutters. But they've had plenty of 3,000,000 attendance with crappy boring teams.

Waning interest not worth the money.

There's a new soccer team here. Some people are all gaga over it.
To watch games, you have to pay extra.
I know they're banking on younger fans who will pay for it. But it seems like they're leaving easy money on the table.
 




Make it harder and more expensive to consume your content, and I will consume less of your content. This isn't rocket science.
Listening to Dolph and Pat is better than any TV broadcast, tbh and it's totally free. They stream it on YouTube live if you want to see them in the booth.

Free anywhere in the country.
 


I didn't watch the Indiana game, and I won't watch the Penn State game. I am pissed off at Iowa's tone deaf athletic department for forcing fans to subscribe to yet another streaming service just to see Iowa football.

The Iowa Athletic Department has nothing to do with this. It is what the Big 10 Conference signed up for.

Big Ten made the 7 year, $7 billion deal that runs through ‘29-30.
