    NBC puts games on shitty channels and now won’t even have a channel so it will be all on peacock and EPL took a lower bid from them? That fox bid but have had strings attached or they didn’t trust the fox people

    They won’t all be on Peacock, they’re planning to utilize USA for the rest of this season once NBCSN shuts down.

    roonskie pointed this out to me but didn’t realize Warner owns Turner. They put all UCL matches behind a paywall and got out of their contract before 1 full season was even up. Don’t blame EPL for not wanting to go with them

    The Serie A thread claims this shit app is better than ESPN+ and claim it’s better that the league switched. They’re full of shit

    Absolute worst of the platforms. Not even close. Rare is the match day it doesn’t either: fail to load, load the wrong match, lose connection, drop sound, freeze, etc. Can’t fucking stand it.

    Think this is a result of people watching on it instead of Paramount + for USA and for UCL

    Paramount + has been a disaster during this USA/Canada game

    We’ve gotten content unavailable and tons of reloading screens despite incredibly fast internet

    The cock is throwing commercials into the deadline day special during the broadcast then showing "we'll be right back" when the actual broadcast on sky goes to commercial.

    This is infuriating.

    “That bundle, which includes ESPN+, Disney+ and Hulu, costs $13.99 a month, or $4 more than the new standalone price of ESPN+. The bundle’s price will not change for now. “

    it is. I get it through Verizon and ngl it isn’t worth having because everything is packed with ads. Hulu tries to pimp their content but there are like 5 ad breaks in a 45’ show.

    ofc that was strategic. Consolidate rights and viewers at a tasty entry cost and ratchet the price.

    In all fairness, I basically have it just for Disney+ and ESPN+. Do watch a couple things on Hulu and the ads are out of control both in # and subject range. Want to say I’ve seen ads for Fire Island, VR games, and Herschel Walker campaigns, who the fuck is their audience?

    I swear Americans should be required to memorize this playbook. Cheap entry price, promotional access through corporate partners, market penetration, price hike, price hike, price hike…, etc.
