Good analysis by Andrew Bucholtz at Awful Announcing, looking at the emerging wave of sports-centric TV packages:
The wider point is that there isn’t one “future of live sports TV.” The future will be different for each consumer based on what specific content they want to watch. For some, an antenna with a mix-and-match selection of streaming services will be the most efficient (and the loss of Venu is a big blow for a lot of that group, with it providing ESPN before Flagship’s launch, providing FS1, and providing a good-looking bundling deal with WBD). For others, a sports skinny bundle like MySports may work better. For others still, a full MVPD package will be the way to go. But in all discussions of this, it’s worth keeping in mind that these are different products aimed at different people and that the only real future is individual.
Kind of like what I’ve been saying about cord cutting in general for the past decade.
