ESPN About to Ruin Redzone Channel

ESPN is acquiring NFL Network an the NFL Redzone while the NFL buys a piece of ESPN (Disney).

Expect NFL games on Disney(+).

You sure got that right Berm. While I am sure there are existing contracts to fill the coming years will be interesting. What really pisses me off,is say you have Disney plus. And you think….no problem I can get all the games with my regular monthly subscription. Sure as **** they will introduce another tier of premium membership for NFL games at some huge cost because they are slowly but surely monopolizing the games.

It wasn’t that long ago when we all lauded the internet and its streaming. All add free of course. Because the cable companies were costing us a fortune. Didn’t take long for all the streaming to catch up.

Oh man, I hope they don’t **** this up with commercials and adding their ridiculous, stupid analysts or it will be ****** up.
Just leave it as is. It doesn’t require your so called fixing.

You know they will, they just can’t help themselves. Why purchase it if they can’t add commercials for more revenue, not to mention forcing us to watch and listen to two more bozos/bozerettes who are adding their f:;king face time instead of immediately showing more action in another game.
 
I'm sure the price will go up and they'll probably tie it in with the standalone ESPN streaming service I keep hearing about. RedZone is as close to a pure sports broadcast that we have and Scott Hansen is an all-pro as host. There's nothing they can do to improve the product so they better leave this one alone.
 
DirecTv used to have a 2nd Redzone channel that was fantasy football themed with stats on screen and a few people talking fantasy. I never watched it. If ESPN feels the need to have their unwatchable talent yell at each other, they should make it a 2nd channel like they do with the Manning Cast for MNF.

I don’t think they will. I know ol girl loves the current format but not highly confident in anything ESPN does.
 
I cut all of those channels out years ago,so it's no loss or gain for me.

Of course they'll stick it into some **** ing package to make you buy.

Ditto


One exception but it only cost me the money to buy a $48.00 antenna. Steelmann planted the idea and I ran with it. I now get 22 FREE channels (I live in very low populated area so not the big city waves).

I get

22- free channels, just the cost of the antenna (abc / nbc / cbs / fox / others)
$17.00 Netflix
$00. Amazon prime purchased by my company
$00. HULU my daughter gave 1 of her 4 passwords for free
$00. 166 channels Samsung TV
$00. All the free streaming off my smart (Samsung) TV (I watch a lot of YouTube for free)

A smile and a hand-shake to myself and said never again will I pay high $$$dollar$$$ for anything tv or NFL

Remove the word about and this is true
 
Netflix just signed exclusive broadcasting for 2027 and 2031 women’s World Cup soccer games. This used to be regular programming on Fox network. While some of you will say,……who gives a **** about women’s soccer,it’s actually a big draw and I believe just the start of things to come.

Netflix could say sign the US Open in tennis,while Amazon signs The Masters in Golf. While the Stanley Cup gets signed to HBO. The day of flipping channels on cable tv on a rainy Sunday in October,going from a football game to a baseball playoff game to a hockey game is going to be history one day. They are going to make you pay your *** off one day for all sorts of streaming services. While your favorite players sit out demanding more money and sign record contracts.

I get the feeling the bitching I used to do at the cost of normal cable vision is going to seem like a drop in the bucket compared to what’s coming.
 
This is monopoly bs!! I hate politics getting mixed up in my favorite sports… the powers that be already ruined espn now they are going to F up football! I don’t follow baseball cuz they F’ed it all up! Man this just ruined my day :-/

RedZone actually tested commercials for 2-3 weeks last year. It was in split screen format and was not a fan of it.
