In June 2022, a few Reddit and Twitter users reported audio. It may be to the disadvantage of some leagues such as MLB, the NBA and the NHL because of the likely collapse of the regional sports network model.īut the NFL? The NFL is king. The Reddit post also mentions that YouTube TV found the cause of a 5.1 audio/video sync issue and is currently working on a solution. The paradigm is changing across the sports marketplace. These particular changes are about one thing – sports. Still, any subscriber to YTTV, gets to pay. Notice that P-I-P is no longer a feature in TVs any longer. I’m old enough to remember picture-in-picture as a feature on TV sets and I even used it – minimally – for football games.
Someone has to foot the bill for such innovation, even when it’s highly unlikely that most YTTV subscribers will use the feature. No offense, I don’t think anyone - meaning non-sports fans - plans to use such a feature to watch multiple episodes of “NCIS” or “CSI” when they air on multiple networks simultaneously. No self-respecting football fan can watch just one game at a time, which is why YouTube TV recently announced that its multiview feature is going live on a limited basis as the NCAA Tournament gets underway. The package will be available for subscription on YouTube TV and YouTube (Oh yeah, they’ve raised the price on the premium edition of that one, too), but price hasn’t been established and it doesn’t really matter, because if Google’s numbers are in the same ballpark at DirecTV’s, it’s a loss leader. Google just snapped up rights to the NFL Sunday Ticket, the league’s package of out-of-market games, in a huge deal worth approximately $2 billion per year to the NFL.īy the time DirecTV’s exclusive contract ended after last season, they had 1.5 million subscribers who paid at least $300 per season, with more expensive packages with extra content available. With this price change comes nothing new in terms of services – meaning channels - immediately.Īdditionally, this price increase feels as if it’s being passed on to the service’s 5 million subscribers because of changes being made primarily because of sports. Personally, I never begrudge a company from making an honest buck, but on the surface, I understand why the average person who doesn’t use YTTV for sports programming would want to flee.
