Perhaps I should’ve been more clear! Peacock doesn’t have enough exclusive sports rights separate from NBC at this time to properly program a linear network. That doesn’t mean they couldn’t go out and buy enough content for Peacock to be able program a cable network as well. But

Yes, and if you combine play ins with a SEC non conf agreement (assuming they go to 9 games), then you have something to go to the TV guys now before the NFL opens their deals early (which they will). 😎

Every game on NBC is on Peacock. One game is on Peacock and not on NBC. That is the one game that would be on the new channel. x.com/greggstallings…

Well there is that little ratings issue. Great team though!⚾️

Great news for DirecTV subs! Let’s get Hulu and Paramount+ in there as well! 🛰️📡📺

Looks like Hulu is coming in with Disney+ as well!

Likely to see more hires along these lines with the changes in collegiate athletics world.

Well, it took about 17 years but NFL/ABC finally have a deal! Congrats to all. Hopefully the feds don’t have any issues with it as Trump seems to have a running gun battle with both parties. 😎

44 years ago MTV launches! For a guy selling cable television it was a huge day. I had corralled all the sports fans but needed the kids to put the pressure on reluctant moms and dads. MTV did it! 😎

Don't believe there is a conference that has more content "sublicensed" by its primary media partners to others than the Big 12.

If they were in fact playing a 16 game schedule your 256 games is actually half of that, or 128 conf games. Fact is they are playing 18 conference games which will result in 144 total Big 12 conference basketball games. Assume 2/3 to ESPN 1/3 to Fox.

More work for the lawyers!😎

Let the great re-bundling begin!

Does possibly open up the chance of a college "Red Zone" type service if these two are working together. Between the two of them they control a great deal of college football rights.

If you are a sports media aficionado read this. Might be the most spot on analysis of where we are right now that I have read in quite a long time.

I smell a rebrand! 😎

I’m thinking graphics not composition.

Silver/owners are counting on about $10 billion+ in expansion franchise fees from Vegas and Seattle. Not likely any existing teams are moving there.

Fox is only going to be in on a ESPN CFB Red Zone if they get a piece. NFL will have a stake of RZ offshoots and Fox will want to be tied to NFL equity wise just as ESPN is. CBS and NBC as well. Be shocked if anything happens before 2027 at earliest. Messy deal… but not
