Man, championship games on stream exclusive? Yikes.

Will that really feel that extreme in 4 years, with how fast cable is dying?

They definitely want in on it. With Comcast, presumably, having no interest in getting back in it sets up perfect to add Amazon while keeping WBD.

I wonder if (when??) Netflix will want to get a piece of the action.

I don’t see why people complain about different streaming services. Now, you can bundle them with your phone plan and have it included without any extra charge.

I was doing some house sitting for my parents who still have ‘extended’ cable. There was literally nothing interesting on to watch.

I remember getting into an argument with family members around Xmas time 10 years ago. I specifically harped on that idea where cable will become obsolete/dying in 15-20 years because streaming will take over. They didn’t believe it could ever happen!

Also, each younger generation has lower percentage of cable users. Getting a head start to build up that streaming base will be very useful in the long run.

Well I think Amazon should buy WBD to reunite the MGM film libraries so a new contract with the combined company could have games exclusive to both TNT and Prime Video (which absorbs max).

Al Michaels should retire and hand over the reigns to someone else.

I call bullshit. The NBA would just say "NBC agreed to broadcast distribution, not cable distribution, which TBS cannot match."
