from Alex Sherman of CNBC,
- Warner Bros. Discovery plans to simulcast live games on cable TV and Max streaming in October.
- The company plans to charge users more if they want to watch sports on Max.
- The new streaming tier will be branded under the Bleacher Report name and will include highlights and interviews in addition to games.
- There won’t be any exclusive MLB or NBA games on Max in 2023...
The company plans to simulcast games from the MLB, National Basketball Association, National Hockey League and National Collegiate Athletics Association, including college basketball’s March Madness, on Max. It also intends to add content from its sports media outlet Bleacher Report, such as highlights and interviews.
Warner Bros. Discovery plans to brand the new tier using the Bleacher Report name, the people said. The company wants to target a younger audience that increasingly skips the traditional pay-TV bundle and would be more aligned with a digital sports brand such as Bleacher Report.
I just can't keep up with all the different places to watch crap.
All I want is one place to legally watch a decent quality stream of most Wings games. It shouldn't be this hard to make that happen. Whatever you think of ESPN+ and their coverage, it's super frustrating that it's within reach and I can't get to them.
This could act as a streaming solution for TNT games but I doubt we'll see it as a replacement for Bally/Sinclair.
