Show Notes
Senator Mike Lee from Utah is advocating for a review of a 1961 law on sports broadcasting, arguing its outdated due to the rise of streaming services. He believes the law, which allows leagues to bundle TV rights and sell them in packages, no longer serves fans well in todays media landscape. With games scattered across platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Peacock, Netflix, and YouTube, accessing all NFL matchups could cost up to $1,500 last season. The Federal Communications Commission has also weighed in, seeking public input on streamings pros and cons for sports viewers. As agencies review the situation, changes could be coming to simplify and reduce the cost of sports viewing.
