Almost every third commercial on the game before that was a Peacock ad urging everyone to sign up to watch the game.
<P
Peacock? No thanks. I’m on limited BW here and Peacock has no Data Saver setting (that I’m aware of) and eats gigabits like popcorn...
If the NFL goes to 100% streaming, they will kill the Golden Goose. Fans won’t watch or buy their overpriced swag.
If NBC thought to make money on that one game, did they make more than the $110 MILLION they gave the NFL? I bet they didn’t.
Did they get millions of new subscribers to sign up for their crappy streaming service? I doubt it.
All in all it was a losing proposition all the way around for NBC, NFL and FAN.....................
A huge number of people are not within city limits and have limited bandwidths. They are cutting those people of from the NFL. City liberals tend to think everyone has high bandwidths.
