I think this is because they can't offer a better product than linear TV does.

In the case of Sportsnet though, the app is just a tremendous piece of shit. If that app was somebody's first experience with streaming apps they'd never try any other app.

TSN isn’t far off neither .
it’s pretty sad in this day and age that the two largest Telcomconglomerates in Canada produced such horrible streaming platforms for their signature sport properties. Again, “oligopolies“ in Canada show how bad they really can be. I wish we could get some good old fashioned competition.

More fuel for the fire... or bang for the buck?

Tell me how you guys read this one. I know what I want to see in it, and I think my biases are clouding my judgement.

ESPN digital platforms adding links to several regional sports networks

ESPN will now begin linking to three RSNs, enabling in-market fans to watch games on those networks' streaming platforms.

It's just a link to where the game is. You aren't getting the RSNs as part of ESPN+ or anything.

I’m on Fubo & Max to get Sportsnet Pittsburgh and TNT games. My wishful brain was hoping I could ditch both for the cheaper combo YouTube TV and ESPN+. But a re-read of the article says you have to be signed in to your provider. At the very least it sounds like I won't have to jump from app to app to watch games.

Yeah, this goes back about a year.


Think like Amazon's Prime Video, where you see stuff from max, Starz, Discovery+, etc. while scrolling through.

At a price tag of $42.99 a month, I'd say it's also anti-consumer.

That was kind of my thoughts. If they think they can charge 43 bucks a month as the baseline then it means they probably aren’t worried about the competition undercutting them. (Because there is none)
