The licensing for sports franchises now that the streaming wars is upon us is easily going to be the last big transition into fully digita. You see the NFL already partnering with Fox and allowing its App to carry even Monday night games. Eventually the statistics from these https://twitter.com/CNN/status/1199953856957964288
Apps and Streams will the basis for who really gets final say in the Monetizing of pro sports. The NFL could even do well enough where people would pay 100$ a year to be able to watch every nfl Game. With local games being free, have a coder input a couple lines where proxies
Can’t bypass the systems software. Boom. 100$ for a full season of football and free local games streamed. I’m not sure if they’ll go all next season with a business model or how they plan on doing it because at the start of the season Monday night games weren’t available
And the NFL app actually refuses to back play HDMI transfer to the TV, it’s not Bluetooth compatible to throw up on your tv from your phone and they’re still probably number crunching. That being said. Red zone at its peak was costing people 149$ you offer broadcasting
Fantasy sports through someone like @NFLResearch ect on its own app. The NFL app could compete against all major streaming apps and then some just start adding more content, you take away from YouTube because you’re behind a pay wall with partial content trickling down
And you got yourself a Billion dollar streaming service for a billion dollar sport
That’s not even mentioning Fantasy betting, which the NFL can’t run itself as an organization but who’s to say a specialist from outside or multiple couldn’t make it on the app to entice people to peek behind the paywall. The way @PFF gets people to but their subscription.
You have Fantasy guys who talk to coaches and players and work in a studio talking about it, idk the business model is a shell of itself and I really think you need a full year with the NFL app doing numbers because the inconsistency with the games streamed and push of the app
Local TV digital ect. NFL has to make its app Bluetooth and HDMI compatible that’s step 1, step 2 is middlemen providers which it already has with Hulu but is Hulu really the end all say all or does the NFL need it’s own full time streaming service. I doubt Hulu #’s are pulling
In more than the App itself. I get customers in McDonald’s watching on their phones, we have workers in the back on their phones, which is why I said if you make the streaming blue tooth accessible and make your own TV ready app you can stream to the TV like Netflix and YouTube
I don’t have the numbers, but I assume that’s what this season and next season will be about as far as marketing. Do you think people are signing up for Hulu just for the NFL or is that App pulling in just as many views. If that’s the case, you skip the Hulu partnership
And go my Bluetooth hdmi route local prioritized with pay wall having code to offset proxies to make it “NFL red zone” feel and than it’s up to the NFL to expand entire departments @NFL because content and video will be crucial. Especially fantasy.
