In the USA, we seem to be drifting towards the paid streaming paradigm. Cheaper than negotiating network contracts I guess now that AV/electronics are so affordable and accessible.
F1 is on ESPN, but we will be temporarily without a home to a lot of other events. Extended coverage of Tour de France, America's Cup, IndyCar comes to mind. I know the coverage the last few years has emphasized their streaming gold service for extended coverage which I found extremely expensive (ie. needing some of that gold to pay for it) so I kind of saw this coming. It makes me wonder if people are actually paying for this and that is leading to the shift or its the other way around. To give you an idea.. TdF was $55, AC $175 and IC was set to be ~$50. Considering AC is free in most other markets I considered this a bit over the top, but I guess that's why VPN services are doing so well.
