www.outkick.com/espn-charter-cable-bundle-sportsIn the summer of 2014, the cable and satellite bundle peaked. One hundred million households were subscribed to ESPN, the most successful channel in the history of cable, and the apex of the greatest business in the history of media had been reached. But no one knew it. Interesting article about the new viewing habits of cable customers and how it will change the sports business model. Look for more turmoil in the future.

That’s why the pac-10 was off their rocker not to take that deal with apple and run! The future is streaming and UW and hole was to dumb to realize it. The pac-10 would have been available on every iPhone and iPad and smart TV in the world!! Apple has a few billion devices in the wild. But no UW did want to “sell popcorn door to door”
Academic idiots.

We have been a conference of relatively small market schools and now without LA we are really small. We were given a chance to be an early adopter of fast growing media. I suspect we will look back and regret it. |

People are unquestionably switching to cable vs. streaming, but it's not as if cable is now dead in the water. Really, to reach the most fans, probably some element of live television is still a good idea to have.

Apple TV+ is a streaming service like Netflix Unlike Netflix apple has billions of devices to back it up. |

Yes, but at what cost and for how long as the baby boomers die off and more access reaches the rural areas. |

Really, to reach the most fans, probably some element of live television is still a good idea to have. So this makes me wonder what is happening now? Perhaps some of you know. Because as far as I understand, we more or less belong to the Pac 12 Network, but the Pac 12 Network doesn't broadcast all the games. In fact, this weekend, it only broadcast two games.
So when the Beavs played on CBS last week, how does that happen? Who gets the cash from CBS? Us or Pac 12 Network? Does Pac 12 Network sell the rights to ESPN, FOX, CBS etc for the particular game?
I think that this is exactly what would happen with Apple.

The conference gets the money not the PAC 12 network. The CBS game last week was under the MWC contract. We still have our current contract, so the major networks still get first pick of games. Also, some of our games were picked under other conference’s media deals. Since those networks picked up most of the games this week, there was only 2 left to be shown on the PAC 12 network. |

Really, to reach the most fans, probably some element of live television is still a good idea to have. In the US and much of Mexico and Canada there are tons of places you can’t get cable. If you can see the sky reasonably well, you can pay Elon some money and you can stream… out on a mountain, down by the lake, out in the desert, driving down the road, even fighting a war against Russia apparently. Currently my wife and I use cable at the house for internet only, once we finish building out our cargo van we won’t even need a decent phone signal to get it. |

Just realized this… if the PAC were streaming with Apple, fans of OOC teams wanting to watch a game held at a PAC stadium would probably have to buy a month of Apple streaming to see the game unless Apple has a deal with another carrier. That could be both a good thing and a bad thing. It wouldn’t shock me if Apple has a deal with other carriers, I’m pretty sure I can watch non-Apple shows from the Apple app already. |
