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.
