    Ernie already said he is staying at Turner

    Chuck said it's in his contract that he gets to become a FA if they lose the contract

    Wow that’s genius! But I don’t want to deal with each of those companies individually. So as long as there’s a 3rd party that I deal with directly, that would be great

    Even though they are owned by woat mega company Comcast, for current day costs, I feel like the best value among any streaming service worth a shit is Peacock. $5.99/mo seems more than fair, especially with Olympics this summer.

    I get that most people already have Netflix, but it's so fucking stupid to allow on-off broadcasts on various streamers. What a massive fuck you to the people who try to watch your product (unless it's not exclusive, then it's good).

    I think they still have broadcast it OTA in the home markets (same as games on ESPN, Amazon, Peacock, etc.).

    Someone did the math to watch all NFL games this season you need to spend like $1000 assuming you subscribe to the services for the duration of the season.

    what in the world is that sentence:

    "unveiled the new brand identify for the highly anticipated platform"

    Venu is the brand identity. The platform is the thing that's gonna allow me to potentially cancel YTTV. It's at least highly anticipated by me.

    Think this is also the one that may bundle all of espn's games with max and Disney

    Definitely a catch in there somewhere. Introductory pricing, full ad versions of the services, limited catalog, etc...

    Beginning next week, the cable giant will offer StreamSaver, a package that includes NBCUniversal’s Peacock Premium (with ads), Netflix Basic (with ads) and Apple TV+ for a discounted price, available to TV and broadband customers in its footprint.

    As an add-on to Comcast TV or broadband, the StreamSaver bundle will cost $15 per month — a discount of at least 35% compared with price of the services purchased separately. In addition, Comcast will offer Netflix and Apple TV+ to its Now TV streaming-only service, which has Peacock and 40 free, ad-supported streaming TV channels, for $30 per month (versus $20/month without them).

    Netflix with ads already has a limited catalog if I remember correctly. Though I've never really been able to find anywhere that lists what you can't get on the ad supported plan.

    Peacock premium, with ads, doesn't sound much like premium to me.
