I don't know if it's a conspiracy, sure is a good coincidence that all those things happened in one year.
What do you think about NBC broadcasting the playoff game only on Peacock?

Streaming is on to the 1-month and switch tactic. They're not going to let people binge watch all episodes of a show in a single month like they've been letting them do.
Then I'll shut it down when they don't let me. But right now, they still allow it. Plus, you can always cancel after a month and then come back anyway. They'll lose money bigtime if they shut that down. Streaming isn't exactly killing it anyway. People are tiring of it.
There is if you're willing to get rid of live TV, which obviously includes live sports. I'm close to that, but it would be cool to still be able to watch some NFL on the local networks.
People will then do, and currently do, what they used to do when this is a concern- wait until the season is over and binge.
Netflix is still very much bought into dropping an entire season/series at once.
Others that also have a cable/sat channel have stayed with the weekly release, like HBO and Showtime.
Then others like Amazon, Hulu, and Peacock have some original series over the last few years that release weekly and other original series that drop and entire season/series at once.
Same here, actually its been several seasons for me back to 2020 I believe. Sunday on the couch watching the Saints early and the Cowboys later was always my routine but since most all players became overpaid pre-Madonna** mercenaries I lost interest which is also whats happening w/ me and the NCAA as well

I like the opening weekend of the NCAA tournament. Lots of action and never have to worry about watching Mississippi State, and whether we're gonna be in it or not.
This is the right answer for network stuff. Even in Starkville I can get 19 channels over the air and in better quality than my inlaws get their cable from MaxxSuck
I signed up for Paramount just to finish watching Halo after they had a free preview on Amazon Prime. It's only 2.99 for the first two months cancel anytime. If you are a Sci fi junkie like me Halo is binge watchable. New season starts next month.
But the streaming bidness is a huge cluster right now.

Too far away to pick them up with a standard antenna. I used to be able to pick them up with a 2-prong directional antenna hooked up to a powered amp/filter. But I had to reposition the antenna for each channel (towards the tower). I quickly reset up that setup a few weeks ago but couldn't get my new TV to pick up any signal. Not sure if that's a change to the tower or just a crappy aspect of an otherwise excellent TV.
ABC, CBS, and Peacock are set up so you can view sports without a "provider", at least in part. They want to show their ads to people that want to watch their shows. Fox does not. Provider-only interface.
Netflix on occaision will spit a season into 2 parts. The Witcher did this, and I think Stranger Things.
I’ve had Directv for 20 years and haven’t left. We went down through the list of different streaming services and couldn’t find one that had what we wanted (none of them carry Bally Sports for one) so we just stayed. Their streaming service is good and you have the ability to use it on your devices like AppleTV even if you still have the dish and receivers. You can use it in rooms where you don’t have a receiver or just want to cut down on the number of receivers you have in your house.
Bally’s, for Cardinals games, is the main reason. I think dtv is the only option for ballys.
I like Peacock. They also stream all the live golf coverage that the Golf Channel carries. Which is a biggie for me. Supposedly ESPN will stream direct to the consumer in 2025. I cut the cord some time ago and I have been subscribing to Sling Orange for ESPN during the Fall. So there are ways to dump cable and get most of what you want. I love not having to deal with Comcast.
I’ve looked into Sling . I like to have it for baseball too, though I’m considering just streaming the radio for that, when I can’t go.
Still no comparison for the Firestick we got from the place in Tupelo....around 100 bucks for equipment and activation, then a whole 20 bucks a month for every, show, movie, sporting event, and ppv in the world. Literally 12000+ channels.
I'm more pissed about the ridiculous Monday night playoff game again this year....ought to be 3 on Saturday and 3 on Sunday. Puts the winner of that game at a severe disadvantage.

For the last 4/5 years the super bowl logo that was designed a year in advance predicted the super bowl teams by color
Their ratings don't stand a chance. Our game with Bama is on at the same time.
Being a Steelers fan, for most of the last 22 years it was a given that I would mostly only have to really care how Baltimore did. The first 19 years after realignment in '02, the Steelers or Ravens won the division 15 of the 19 seasons, won 3 Super Bowls, and played in 4 SBs.I forgot the Bengals were recently in a Super Bowl. Seems like bizarro world.
But then Cincy cranked it up these last couple years, won the division, and even went to a SB! And now the 17ing Browns are in the playoffs for 2 out of the last 4 seasons when the last time they were in the playoffs before then was 2002! The Browns? I cant take them also being not terrible!
Bizarro for sure.
I’m already paying for Hulu live Disney espn bundle, Netflix, Amazon, and HBO max. The whole reason I started streaming is to save money. I’m at the point it will be cheaper to go back to cable/direct.
17 buying peacock to watch. Even if it’s just 1 month.

I read that a legislator from NY is threatening to 'look into' revoking the NFL's waiver the gvt gave to legally run a monopoly and negotiate broadcast rights as a league(vs team by team).
He said that either the NFL stop bleeding peoole dry by streaming a game on Peacock, or he will push to investigate.
The NBA, NHL, and MLB have regular season and post season games on paid platforms(cable, streaming).
The NFL has had regular season fames on paid platforms for years now(cable/sat and streaming Amazon).
But apparently this is too much.

Peacock offers a student discount I believe. All you parents tell your kids to sign up with their school email and get it for $2.99 one day. Then cancel. The game isn’t that entertaining so far.
It’s so cold that a helmet to helmet hit broke a chunk out of Mahomes’ helmet. Legal hit but that’s cold to make the plastic that brittle.

When I cut Direct TV I lost my satellite in the motorhome. I figured that I could use the over the air antenna and get at least a couple of channels anywhere but I was wrong. We took a six week trip last fall and couldn’t get any channels at more places than places I could get channels. It has a good boosted antenna, I can get fifteen or so sitting in my driveway. We weren’t staying in the boondocks either.
Ours from there will like randomly pause/glitch in the middle of a game. Like multiple times. Have y’all had that problem?
Across from west main walmart. Believe they also have one in Saltillo now
2305 W Main in Tupelo....

Yeah, I was “hell no” I’m not paying for that ****** streaming service…but when my 13yo daughter said she would pay me to watch, I caved. I mean I pay $6+ for a can of Copenhagen. I never thought this girl would ever have any interest in football.
How it happened. iMO
1. T Swift probably started it.
2. The Chick Berrios dates is apparently a huge social media thing.
3. we watched Dolphins Hard knocks, which sold her. I have to say, back in the day, getting my wife to watch all the HBO Boxing lead ups, got her into it, and got is the PPVs.
Anyway, it wasn’t worth it…
So... 23 Million viewers across Peacock and local NBC. The total population of the KC and Miami metros combined are about 8 million, so even if 100% of households in those metros were tuned in to the game, that's 15 million viewers on Peacock. The local affiliates were obviously not 100%, so you could probably estimate a Peacock only audience of about 18-20 Million. This was an unmitigated success for NBC and means we're very likely going to see more streaming only content in the future.

Saturday’s Dolphins-Chiefs AFC Wild Card Game averaged 23.0 million viewers across Peacock and the NBC affiliates in Miami and Kansas City, per Nielsen fast-nationals — up 6% from Chargers-Jaguars on NBC last year (21.8 million across Nielsen and Adobe Analytics) and the most-streamed live event ever in the United States. In an unusual, perhaps even unprecedented move, NBC announced the numbers on-air during the Rams-Lions playoff game Sunday night.
