just wondering if anyone thinks that the mountain network that goes off may 31 will be replaced by the pac 12 network?
Ask Viacom about that. Hurt them in deal with directv."JMCecil" said:Yes please look at Netflix and Hulu+ and Vudu etc...
Netflix is struggling and will continue to lose content to distributor specific providers. Hulu and Vudu (especially Vudu) can barely keep the doors open. And, will also continue to lose content to the media owners own systems.
They are convenient for the users, but they are not money generators for the content owners. In many cases the streaming content has become an impediment to negotiations of much more lucrative delivery models.
In other words it will be a long time before sports streaming generates enough revenue to replace the current distribution model. So, there is no incentive for the content owners to support streaming. In fact there is value dilution that expressly tells them its a bad idea.
yeah, good current example of value dilution.tonyd79 said:Ask Viacom about that. Hurt them in deal with directv.
Good for you! That gives you some breathing room."kick4fun" said:While waiting to see if Directv negotiates with PAC 12, just found out my in-laws in Seattle have Comcast. YEAH! I can now watch Pac12 via the internet streaming.
GO COUGS!
IF that is correct, it is the same price that DirecTV charges for Fox Soccer Plus. Are they crazy? For me...YES!! I am a huge soccer fan but will not pay for FS+. I am a PAC-12 fan but will not pay $14.99/mo.sdpadres said:@PAC12Insider says deal with DirecTV is close. $14.99 a month. Are they crazy?
That would be a non starter for me."sdpadres" said:@PAC12Insider says deal with DirecTV is close. $14.99 a month. Are they crazy?
And tell them why."DC_SnDvl" said:For me the PAC12 games are the only reason I have subscribed to the sports pack. If the PAC12 games are no longer in the sports pack I don't have a reason to keep it. My local RSNs carry just about all of the non PAC12 content. I can just deduct the 14.99 per month from my SunDevil Club contribution.
It was a big reason for me too - at least during football season. I loved those late night random P12 games. If they are asking for 14.99/mo just for a P12 package, no thanks. This will suck even more for basketball.DC_SnDvl said:For me the PAC12 games are the only reason I have subscribed to the sports pack.

It is intruging to have PAC 12 a la carte, but 15 bucks a month is way out of most peoples ranges.sdpadres said:@PAC12Insider says deal with DirecTV is close. $14.99 a month. Are they crazy?
Me too. I hope its not the fox soccer plus route, but if it is it is.sum_random_dork said:I saw the $14.99 post too, doesn't make sense to me, that would mean DirecTV would make over $8 a sub for each person that signed up for the channels. Rumor is PAC 12 nets is asking $.80 a sub for the channel. So even if it was $.80 per channel per sub it doesn't add up. I still hold out hope Mon/Tue we hear something.
in market or out of market price?cjrleimer said:It is intruging to have PAC 12 a la carte, but 15 bucks a month is way out of most peoples ranges.
I thought I saw more than .80 a channel in some article. Can't find it now. I doubt they are asking 80 cents in PAC 12 territory. Typically, channels get more in territory than out.sum_random_dork said:I saw the $14.99 post too, doesn't make sense to me, that would mean DirecTV would make over $8 a sub for each person that signed up for the channels.

Out of which part of your anatomy are you pulling that information??? Based on the Fox Soccer Plus model, it doesn't have to be the Sports Pack price.BusterAvis said:That has to be the sports pack price.
Currently, it's $12.95.
So it would go up to $14.95.
That's a $2.00 increase.
For those that have sports pack, this should not be an issue.
$2.00 extra to get all seven networks?
It would be worth it.
LOL, there is no way this is $14.95 ala carte.Fog627 said:Out of which part of your anatomy are you pulling that information??? Based on the Fox Soccer Plus model, it doesn't have to be the Sports Pack price.
Since this is a niche channel, the Fox Soccer Plus model makes sense.
I remember seeing something that said $0.80 for all seven networks combined.tonyd79 said:I thought I saw more than .80 a channel in some article. Can't find it now. I doubt they are asking 80 cents in PAC 12 territory. Typically, channels get more in territory than out.
No way is it 80 cents for all seven networks in market. Too cheap. Plus no one is doing all seven."BusterAvis" said:I remember seeing something that said $0.80 for all seven networks combined.
That may have been the out of market price, not sure.
That's why it would have to be out of market (to get all 7 networks).tonyd79 said:No way is it 80 cents for all seven networks in market. Too cheap. Plus no one is doing all seven.
