Googles has secured the rights to the NFL Sunday Ticket package and plans on distributing it through YouTube continuing a shift away from traditional television viewing. Following in the steps of Thursday Night Football moving to streaming only on Prime Video, Sunday Ticket and Red Zone will no longer be available on DirecTV and can only be found online. Doug thinks this is just another step in the inevitable evolution of sports media and, rather than rail against it, it’s time we start making the adjustment to digital content providers.
Doug Gottlieb: “Here’s where I love evolution...We’ve gone from the cable era, to the satellite era, to the streaming era (that) was already upon us...but YouTube becoming legitimate; mark today as the day.”
