The regional sports package (Lakers/Kings/Dodgers/etc) was costing $16/month with Direct TV. I was easily paying $120-$150/month with the Sunday ticket, Centre Ice and the regional sports fees. After the NFL moved to Yahoo, I changed how I access everything. Which meant no local sports. What’s interesting is that with all the cord cutting, the Ducks (and others - Dallas and Florida) are forced to sign less lucrative deals in hopes of expanding their market by offering free access. Should be an interesting experiment.
PerreaultForever Posted August 28, 2024 Report Posted August 28, 2024 Sabres built their original fanbase with free tv broadcasts. They might not make a lot of money from this now, but maybe lots of kids watch free and they build a fanbase the same way.

Expand Huh, I had no idea; I thought the Stars would still be on Bally. I guess I need to line up Victory+ to watch them play in Buffalo.
LGR4GM Posted August 28, 2024 Report Posted August 28, 2024 If he NHL had a brain, they would end regional blackouts, put everything on ESPN+ and sell ads regionally by IP address. What I am saying is the future of live sports is streaming and Disney, Netflix, Paramount, and idk whoever else HBO-Max? will be the providers. 1

I'm sure it's not their ideal option, but it could still work.

I'm not sure the Leafs could block games on local cable if they are on a regular TV channel. They definitely can't block the TV signals.
