Ten million is a lot. He can ASK for anything. Can't see Jacobs putting him anywhere close to Bobrovsky territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 Anaheim Ducks games will be broadcast over the air free and streamed free in SoCal. https://www.nhl.com/ducks/news/ducks-announce-partnerships-with-victory-kcop-channel-13-to-televise-all-regional-games-for-free 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerreaultForever Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't compare those days, when there was a only a handful of channels, to today's limitless media landscape. If you want kids to watch maybe broadcast games over Twitch or Tik Tok Edited August 28 by PromoTheRobot 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's not their ideal option, but it could still work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
