Expansion - BY making moves?

BrewingFrog

Was I supposed to type something here?
Why would BY pass on the opportunity to develop a relationship and presence with the Streamers? The Cable monopoly is a dying model, and continuing to do chest compressions and transfusions does no good at all. Amazon's money spends just as good as Disney's...

As far as cable dying, not so fast. More and more people are discovering that the ala cart way of doing things is more of a pain and not much, if any, cheaper than cable. I've been looking for the article and can't find it, but people are getting sick of the quality and issues dealing with streaming, of having numerous platforms they have to navigate and miss the simplicity of just turning the tv on and not having to fool with anything else. The gist of the article was that cable isn't as dead as people think.

If cable providers were smart, they'd market their services accordingly.

Agreed. I'm curious how the new Venu streaming service will do -- it's a collaboration of ESPN, Fox and TNT/TBS for $42.99/month. With that and an HD antenna I can get pretty much all of the sports I need (although I'd miss the highly anticipated Week 0 game between SMU and Nevada on CBSSN). I'm thinking about tossing my cable box and getting it.
