Title: Thursday night NFL games now stream on Amazon Prime, and that sucks for cord-cutters Post by: HCK on April 07, 2017, 04:05:15 pm Thursday night NFL games now stream on Amazon Prime, and that sucks for cord-cutters
<article> <section class="page"> <p>Thursday night NFL games streamed with stunning success (http://www.techhive.com/article/3120949/streaming-services/twitters-fantastic-live-nfl-stream-turned-this-recluse-into-a-raving-football-fan.html) on Twitter last year, but for the season, football’s jumping ship. The NFL and Amazon announced they’ve reached a $50 million agreement for streaming rights to 10 Thursday Night Football games for the 2017 season—a five-fold increase over the $10 million Twitter paid for last year’s games.</p><p>The agreement’s a major win for Amazon, which has been pushing hard to expand its TV offerings. It’s a bummer for folks who’ve ditched cable, though. While Twitter streamed TNF games to the world, making them freely available to cord-cutters even if watchers weren’t Twitter users, Amazon’s NFL livestreams will be limited to paying Amazon Prime subscribers. An Amazon Prime subscription costs $100 per year.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3187598/streaming-services/thursday-night-nfl-games-now-stream-on-amazon-prime-and-that-sucks-for-cord-cutters.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Thursday night NFL games now stream on Amazon Prime, and that sucks for cord-cutters (http://www.macworld.com/article/3187598/streaming-services/thursday-night-nfl-games-now-stream-on-amazon-prime-and-that-sucks-for-cord-cutters.html#tk.rss_all) |
