NESN NESN launches app that features live streams of Red Sox and Bruins games

[BruinsFanSince94]

for 30 a month they should have a library of every single bruins and redsox game ever televised available to watch.

You’ll get every episode of Charlie Moore Outdoors and like it!

This is an extremely greedy price point

 

[DarrenBanks56]

well I dont watch baseball and it wont be long until the Bruins arent going to be worth watching live games for.
So for myself, I wouldnt pay more than $10 a month for something like this if it was my only option.

 

[Bmessy]

That's alotta money for Bruins games where you can't even hear the action on the ice.

Ummm what??? I pay $70 a month for Disney+, Hulu and Espn+ bundle. There is NOOOOO way I can justify $30 more to watch bruins games. I’ll continue watching by other means and the bruins (and sox) can continue losing viewers. Then in 10 years they can debate about how they don’t have a new generation of fans. Cable is going away, no one in New England can watch you!!!! lol what a joke

Wonder if this is why they played hardball with all of the streaming services (YTTV, Hulu).

Over the last 3-5yrs I've had to hope around TV services in order to watch NESN because NESN would get dropped. If they get dropped from Xfinity no way in hell am I paying $30 a month for the quality of crap they put out. I'll find alternative methods to view games.

 

[Ladyfan]

So hopefully this means I don't pay any more as I have NESN already on Comcast? I am SURE that will change as Concast is such a rip off

"The app, the first of its kind from a regional sports network for an MLB or NHL team, is available at no additional cost for those who already subscribe to NESN via their cable provider."

$70 a month for the Hulu/Disney/ESPN bundle? Who is charging you that, a Nigerian prince? I pay $19.95 and I get the no ads versions.

Those Penguins aren't going to pay for themselves.

For thirty bucks a month, I expect at least one compromising photograph of Tom Werner and a farm animal.

Charlie Moore has a whole photo album of those.

Wait. Does this mean no more NESN on cable?

NESN's contracts with Xfinity, Spectrum and Cox are expiring and the sides are not even close.

FIOS signed a new deal gambling that other cable outlets will drop NESN

The FSG money grab continues ..,walk away from cable and set up your own streaming vehicle....then price it obscenely high and bet a certain percentage of people ( say 40%) will be willing to pay

the math they are counting on is that the revenue from the stream - even with a significantly reduced audience- will be greater than what the cable companies are paying

What are the expiration dates?

OK so this might be making a bit more sense, althought the price is still ridiculous. If NESN comes off of all the major carriers then people who don't know another way to get the games will have no choice but to pay the $30 if they want to watch the games. That's robbery without a gun by the NESN folks.

I assume he is getting the local channels as well. I do the same for the Hulu+ bundle at $20/month. Getting the out of town NHL games is cluch, and they pick up the local feed so we don't get the garbage ESPN production.

I have Hulu with live TV

 

[dafoomie]

I'm pretty happy with $30 if the Bruins are in 4K from day one. NESN was the only reason I couldn't drop cable, now I will.

Oh, gotcha.

If they are charging 30$ a month to the consumer I can old image what they want otherwise. what a joke.

 

[mjhfb]

My guess is they figured if some people pay $3/day for coffee, they can easily get $1/day from their extremely passionate fanbase.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

I can’t wait to watch all Sox and Bruins games illegally lol
