NFL Sunday Ticket

Agreed. Or sell you a package for certain team(s) with the ability to buy other individual games at a reasonable price.

If you watch a lot of NFL, as a former Sunday Package subscriber there is an upside that most people don't mention. Often the games in your local market turn out to be real duds. Can't tell you how many times I flipped thru and found an absolute barnburner. Often on a game that you would have thought would have been horrible. Some of my most memorable Package experiences honestly.

The few years I got it for free, me too. However, just not worth $400.

Interesting article about those in the hunt for the Sunday Ticket.

Amazon, Apple, Disney could make play for DirecTV's NFL Sunday Ticket (usatoday.com)

But the most interesting is what I've never understood. DirecTV pays the NFL 1.5B for the rights to carry the games and charges $300, but not all subscribers pay that much, and they have 2M subscribers. Simple math 1.5B in expense - 600M max revenue = 900M loss each year and they admitted they have to write down a deficit of 2.5B with ATT laying off DirecTV.

What am I missing? Do they feel all of those 2M Sunday Ticket subscribers will walk DirecTV if they do not provide that? I originally signed up to get that but left that behind and kept DirecTV, mainly for convenience.

I’ve been with DIRECT TV for over 15 years. Every other year I get Sunday ticket for free for signing a new contract. So it’s like getting it for half price. Because the first year is free. I’m going to do NFL live this season. $100 you can watch every single game 10 minutes after the game is over and it’s entirety. I can’t wait for Apple orAmazon to take it
