How do you get them to cooperate though? What's to stop AT&T from playing them against each other and just saying the first one to accept their terms gets a sweetheart deal, and everyone else is going to have to pay even more?
- notyourday 8y agoSince now AT&T has the content it makes no sense not to squeeze everyone who needs this content. Turn on your cable or satellite TV and scroll through the channels. Notice everything that is on. Should you do it every day for a month you would realize that it is the same recycled content that is being re-pushed. That's because for all big talk there's just not enough broadcast quality content that is being produced to fill the available slots. Production of the content is not just expensive, it is time consuming.
- Karunamon 8y agoI'd also add that linear content is becoming more and more of an anachronism. As more and more people get access to streaming services, it makes less and less sense to time-box content. Most of Dish's stuff is DVR-based anyways, and everyday channels are telling people to set their DVRs in the promo material. Forcing everything into a time box makes the content problem look worse.
