Show Notes
Daniel joins the show to break down what the new Amazon-Diamond deal will mean for sports broadcasting, why this announcement was such a surprise considering the previous cases, this deal will expand access but will also come with expanded costs, why the deal has stunned MLB, if this stops MLBs long-term plans to become a DTC provider for team broadcasts, Diamond hoping the new leverage can change the current deal for teams like the Cardinals, why this deal doesn't shake up the NHL & NBA rights as much because their deals are year-to-year, the plan for Amazon to build a larger sports streaming business than is currently contractually possible, why teams like the Cardinals are breathing a sigh of relief to this news & how the Peacock-streaming playoff game went for the NFL.
