That's horrible. How are they doing on Apple+ now?

The general rule with streaming is, if they release/leak/PR numbers then it's good, good enough or they're lying. If we don't see anything, underwhelming at best to disaster at worst. Since we haven't seen anything, I take it as somewhere between disaster-to-underwhelming.

Lakers-Warriors Game 1 best early round game on cable since 2012

The first playoff series in four years to pit LeBron James against Stephen Curry delivered as expected in Game 1.
www.sportsmediawatch.com www.sportsmediawatch.com

Tuesday’s Lakers-Warriors second round NBA playoff Game 1 averaged 7.36 million viewers on TNT, the largest first or second round audience on cable in 11 years — since Lakers-Thunder Game 5 on TNT in 2012 (8.15M). Viewership jumped 38% from Warriors-Grizzlies Game 2 in the same window last year (5.32M). Ratings were not immediately available. Lakers-Warriors marks the first playoff meeting between James and Curry since they met in four-straight NBA Finals while James was a member of the Cavaliers. James’ Lakers did play Curry’s Warriors in a 2021 Play-in Tournament game that averaged in the neighborhood of 5.6 million viewers on ESPN.

There were reports that apple could opt-out of MLS if they don't get the volumn of subs - any truth to that?

You saw the same thing I did. Seems standard to have opt-out clauses but also seems unrealistic to be used immediately or during/after the first season. Think that's a discussion to be had a couple years into the deal.

I know NBA is popular but the ratings show that Stars matter more then the market.
