Here’s a snippet from a recent article up on the Athletic
“The
NFL’s much-discussed Sunday Ticket package is in the news of late, with
one report having Amazon as the lead contender to acquire the out-of-market games that are up for bid, while another
touts Disney’s ESPN empire as interested.
All fair, but it’s still early in the process, and sources say the NFL wants — or perhaps, better termed, hopes — Apple gets the out-of-market package. And that package could look a lot different structurally than the one DirecTV has shopped since its inception in 1994, charging a basic rate for all the games. Under consideration is adding choices like allowing fans to buy just one team’s out-of-market games, or perhaps even stand-alone games, sources said.”
