I can only assume the only remaining reason why people even still want traditional TV is live sports.

Stuff might finally be happening. I can‘t wait for Amazon, YouTube, Netflix, etc. to just come in and start getting those licenses. Imagine a FIFA world cup on YouTube live-streamed in 4K. Granted, it‘s unlikely to happen soon. But sports is really the only valuable thing the traditional content providers still have.

Wait a minute, though. AT&T and NBC both have have their own streaming services now. So why wouldn‘t they use their sports licenses to stream games on there?




Amazon is already moving into that space, they offer some Premier League matches in many countries. There's also a dedicated sports streaming service called DAZN in some European countries


American Football too. Yahoo also helps with this. I'm waiting for someone to fill the Sunday gap now that Redzone is off sling and youtube TV is no longer worth it.
