12 more years of Sportsnet.

f*** me.

Praise god for streaming. Road feeds send me to bed much less stressed.

 

[ConnorNova0929]

Ah f***.

Not that TSN is much better but Rogers is awful.

 

[KlefDown]

booooooooooooooo

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

 

[oXo Cube]

It's even worse when you realize there is no way they're making money on this without reselling a significant amount of games to the highest bidder.

The league is going to be chopped up and divided among 5+ separate streaming services all with their own monthly fee.

[TB12]

No. f***ing. Way.

This is horrible, horrible news. f*** me, Sportsnet is complete ass.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

No. f***ing. Way.

This is horrible, horrible news. f*** me, Sportsnet is complete ass.

The worst part is they’ll sell a bunch of games to other services so we’ll need a bunch of places to watch all the games

Don't forget the sports betting ads.

 

[RegDunlop]

What's the alternative though fellas? TSN no better to me

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

What's the alternative though fellas? TSN no better to me

Radio.

 

[RegDunlop]

Radio.

Ha! Yeah I suppose Keith!

 

[Messrules11]

This better not mean 12 more years of Debrusk, or I’ll run amok.

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

What's the alternative though fellas? TSN no better to me

Nothing better than reading about the game in your paper while eating your Trix cereal.

 

[Oilhawks]

Yep, the process of killing the golden goose is well underway.

 

[Boner Pills]

I can hardly wait for the next camping trip story about Debrusk's brother in law.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Can’t wait for a dozen more years of Ron MacLean….

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

What's the alternative though fellas? TSN no better to me

TSN will pay 11 billion just for Toronto’s regional rights. They don’t care about having the national rights.

 

[Captain Controversy]

Sportsnet plus is about to get even more expensive.

 

[Oilhawks]

Can’t wait for a dozen more years of Ron MacLean….

A dozen? They'll have his head in a jar like a celebrity in Futurama.

Ron is eternal.

Yup. I read an article that said nowadays to watch most of the 4 major sports leagues, as well as the ancillary sports (bowling, curling, some soccer, nascar, in NA, you need to spend $300USD to get all the various stream feeds plus internet to carry it.. Cable ops have offloaded buying TVcable to making sure you buy their most robust internet package plus the streams from the various providers. Eventually people will stop buying and get very selective.

The model could become one where the advertisers pay for the full cost of TV rights in order to get in front of you with their product and carry the ads via the sports broadcast and that will become the “cost” to the consumer. Think of it as a 3 hour Ron Popeil Veg-O- Matic ad. It means we will be inundated with ads and even higher cost consumer products as they recoup the air time costs …
