2733177, Yeah, I found out the reason why Comcast is getting rid of NBCSN

It only cost 8.00 per cable subscriber to have the network, where espn and other
networks are like close to 15.00 per subscriber. So they want to make more money.
So they are moving all sports to the USA network ( in combination with peacock),
where the subscriber cost is more.

Yeah. I’m more of a cable guy myself. It’s just easier access. I have basic cable
through Comcast where I just pay 40 + a month, and I just stream everything else
for free. All I really need in life is AMC, SYFY, the big 4 stations for local news,
sports and shows, ESPN, FOX sports, TNT,TBS,PBS, and I’m good.

I know people who cut the cord and went straight apps. I had one friend who got
screwed over for the Super Bowl, because the CBS app was having issues.
That’s my fear with these different steaming platforms. If the app focks up,
you’re screwed.

But that FUBO sounds like a nice deal.
