[QUOTE="Eight, post: 2986543, member: 73370"] found this part of the article really to get to the heart of the matter: "Pricing of the channels appears to be the main culprit in the standoff. According to Kagan, a unit of S&P Global Market Intelligence, on average, RSN pricing ranges from a high of $6.85 per subscriber per month to the least expensive at 34 cents per subscriber per month. Overall, the average price of regional sports networks is about $3.53 per customer per month, Kagan said. According to website The Streamable, YouTube and Hulu also have another reason for holding back on the RSNs -- most of their subscribers don’t watch them. In a March 10 interview with the [URL='https://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/mlb/brewers/2021/03/10/brewers-games-wont-streaming-services-year-and-heres-why/6923383002/'][I]Milwaukee Journal Sentinel[/I],[/URL] The Streamable co-founder Jason Gurwin estimated that only 5% to 10% of streaming TV subscribers watch RSNs. "The 90% of subscribers who don't watch it are subsidizing the 10% that do," Gurwin told the newspaper. "Given that an RSN is one of the most expensive channels in a cable bundle, it's just not sustainable for these packages.
