In the spirit of the Sports Broadcasting Thread, I decided to make a thread for OTT services. Let's meet the people who want your money! (And no, they don't offer linear access to their TV channels) ESPN+ Launched just now, ESPN+ is certainly going to be the 800 lbs. gorilla in the room just on the name alone. ESPN is signing a whole bunch of small-time college conferences, out-of-market Major League Soccer matches, and niche sports to go alongside the 30 for 30 archive and stuff they're moving from ESPN3. Offers MLB.tv and NHL.tv as add-ons, but you don't need ESPN+ to buy those. Cost: $4.99 monthly, $49.99 yearly NBC Sports Gold Designed for specialties, NBC Sports Gold isn't a full service, per se, but an umbrella for individual 'passes' for individual sports. If you only want Premier League matches, cycling, or Portland Trail Blazers games (Oregon only), you only pay for those packages. Cost: varies based on service Fox Soccer Match Pass While certainly the most expensive of options, there's a good reason: it includes soccer matches that also air on Fox Sports networks. What this means is, if you were to cancel every TV service you have and wanted to watch Bundesliga, you can see every match with Fox Soccer Match Pass. Everything soccer Fox has the rights to (with the exception of the World Cup) is here. Cost: $19.99 monthly, $139.99 yearly (bound to go down with loss of UEFA rights to Turner Sports) Bleacher Report Live Still in Beta, B/R Live will offer NBA games a la carte, alongside NCAA, PGA, and UEFA Champions League. Right now, though, it's showing The Spring League and arm wrestling. Cost: Free until June, then TBA If I'm leaving something out, let me know!

One plus of ESPN+ (no pun intended) for me, is that there will be a lot of boxing programming. The June fight between Terence Crawford and Jeff Horn will be on the service as well as a fight on 4/21 with Amir Khan against Phil Lo Greco. There is also an on demand library of fights which includes basically all of many Pacquiao's bouts (including the Mayweather fight) and a bunch of classic events like the Ali-Frazier and Leonard-Duran trilogies https://espnmediazone.com/us/press-...vs-horn-june-9/ The SituAsian fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Apr 12, 2018 |
