In this episode, we discuss how sporting events (NBA, NHL, Indy 500, PGA, Premier League) are seeing record viewership on cable TV, while sports leagues and broadcasters make no mention of streaming viewership. We also discuss the new NESN 360 sports streaming service and the potential loss of the IPL (Indian Premier League) for Disney, which would affect Disney+ Hotstar’s growth. We also talk about funding problems some streaming vendors are facing, with the broader impact on financial markets making it difficult to secure capital.
