The Streaming Wars Are Killing Me And NESN Is A Small Choad
As I turned on my computer to watch TV like any self respecting millennial, I clicked to what I thought was going to be the Bruins Game. Low and behold, NESN no longer is available on You Tube TV. Did I get that MEMO Tom Caron?!
So what’s the deal here? Well it looks like some rich dick is fighting with another rich dick over how much NESN and the rest of the regional Sports Networks are worth.
“We’d certainly like to be back on YouTube TV, but have no indication that YouTube TV feels similarly,” an NESN spokesperson told sports media columnist Chad Finn of The Boston Globe. “We’ve reached out to them, but at this time, it appears there is no interest in renewing discussions.
“As we’ve said in the past,” the spokesman continued, “their decision to drop NESN and over 20 other RSNs [regional sports networks] across the country suggests they no longer wish to serve local sports fans.”
“In this case, our agreement with NESN expired,” the spokesman told Finn in an email. “Unfortunately, we weren’t able to reach a new one which would allow us to keep offering you these channels. We’re still open to making a deal that benefits all of our subscribers, but don’t have updates to share about that at the moment.”
You pricks. This is pretty simple to me. Hey NESN, your programing blows. And lets not stop there. If I click on another “article” from NESN and wait 10 minute for their 10,000 ads to load only to read a 3 sentence update on the latest useless Red Sox no deal, I’m going to stab myself in the eye with a stick.
Baseball is dead and the people who watch the sport are not far behind. You Tube and Google are run by nerd geniuses they see the writing on the wall. The Mad Fisher Man isn’t cashing blank checks, no offense Charlie. The problem here is the Bruins. You self indulgent Choads are depriving us of Hockey. The only place to stream NESN as far as I can tell if Fubo TV not to be confused is FUBU which I am fairly confident do not consider hockey a “target market”.
So get your collective head out of your collective ass John Henry and you dopes at Delaware North. Just take what they give you and give us hockey back.
