| If ESPN and Fox withdraw their offerings from current streaming services, eg.YouTubeTV, Sling etc, most people are still going to want the existing services for all the other programming, and now we'll have to cough up another fee for the sports streaming service. This is nothing but a money grab.

Or a potential great deal for those that don't want all of the other useless, overpriced programming.
And yeah, they're going to make money. But that's the purpose of YouTubeTV, Sling, etc, as well. I'm not sure why you call this a money grab and don't also criticize the others. I remember paying $35.00 a month for YTTV. Then they increased it to $50.00. I'm not great at math, but I think that's a 30% increase.

| I think the existing "linear"?? sports networks will still remain on cable.

It sounds wonderful, but my main question is how much will it cost?

That's my question too. I'm not sure what I'd be willing to pay for this. I have a feeling that it will be a little pricey though. They know that sports fans want it and that some are willing to pay whatever it takes.
It would be nice though to have most of the channels that I watch on the same service. It's so time consuming to switch from one streaming service to another just to peek in on another game that the first service doesn't carry.

Isn't it sad? If only my wages had gone up 100+% in 5-6 years.
