With a combination of Hulu for TV and Netflix for movies, live broadcasts are the only thing cable has left going for it. Once sports events are broadcasted over the internet as well cable TV will have been thoroughly supplanted.
- mikeryan 17y agoRoku already did a deal to get MLB. Unfortunately they're the only major sport that kept their rights to broadcast over the internet when they did their broadcast deals.
- wmf 17y agoHBO/Showtime are also a problem if you're into that sort of thing.
- philwelch 17y agoPeople already pay extra for HBO and Showtime. I really don't see any barrier to having people pay to stream HBO and Showtime rather than add it to their cable bill.
- wmf 17y agoSure, if that was offered. http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118008861.html http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118008861.html "Pay TV outlets have responded by ramping up their proprietary video-on-demand services and keeping a tight rein on the availability of their shows on outside platforms. They aim to get subscribers hooked on the ease and convenience of using their services ... and keep them hooked." Translation: You want HBO, you must have cable. Bummer.
