The confusion with NASCAR coverage over the last month plus should be a warning to ESPN and others. With cable you have everything in one place. Now we have to go on the hunt to see who has what each week. Maybe we will get used to it, but it will hurt viewership short term. Now I need Internet service, Amazon, Peacock, ESPN and MAX services to watch what used to be on cable. I could go between games all from a single feed. Now I will have to go between various services. Sounds like a new app to make my smart TV smarter is in order. A favorite show stack to add and subtract from so I can go between shows on different services. Sports need to be live streams. Episodic TV can be on demand. And if I am paying for the service then I don’t want to see commercials.
That 1st comment is about how we all feel. I cant channel surf from platform to platform like can you can with cable, channel to channel. Whoever figures out once you open your app, like a Samsung phone you should beable to flip from app to app without buffering for 3 min while it loads.

Every shitty Di$ney movie will be promoted ad nausium, prices will go up, and quality of product will go down, I’m done! Fark Di$ney!
