Tcl+ is good. Hopefully it will add channels as they go.

If Venu is really $40-$50 a month for the basic package, and you know there will be tiers soon enough if not from the start, then that’s way too high for one streaming service that doesn’t even have all the sports.

Enjoy your channel! Thank you for your truthful diligence!

Was time for a wireless carrier to buy a cable company. They can install 5G antennas everywhere.

It's DISNEY. You KNOW they're gonna go for the highest price they can get away with. 🙄 Thank you for your videos! Love your channel!! ❤

[dennismccowan]

Love your channel. IT would be great if you could separate your content into chapters.

[MikeBirdman]

i think it's nuts that they're a month away but don't have a price released yet.

[bigtye]

LG do have a free ad supported streaming services and it's really good

Cutting costs. Executives get a bonus or you keep a job. We know what is most important.

[MrBarry]

Why wouldn't they have CBS Sport because of the college basketball tournament. CBS goes with TBS, TNT and TRUTV

[GreyEagleNewsDesk]

Why should it be an ISP's job to police the internet. Are they going to pay the ISP's to perform this function, or are they just expecting them to do the leg work on that free of charge?

[GumperVanLier]

Sports package won't work without CBS.

[loboneiner]

Hey Luke, what are your thoughts about Tubi starting their own wrestling promotion to stream on their service?

[mkuhlman]

My TCL Google TV won't launch the TCL + app. Just thought I throw that out there.

[redneck]

Since when did ISP become Pirate Police?

[susiemitchell]

I couldn't care less about sports and Netflix! I'm forced to pay for Disney and ESPN with my Hulu plan!!!! I don't want it!!!!

[gordon]

Why don't they just create a service where customers can buy content and have systems in place where we can buy the content and have a digital copy we can download to our device where we can keep them forever so we have a copy on there service when we are out and about and we have a fully paid for content downloaded to our servers for us to use when at home which will save money on there and our bandwidth making it simpler to Sony, Nintendo, xbox where we buy the content and its downloaded to our device

My knee jerk was $49.99 but that mouse is greedy so $59.99 with a 3 month “promotional price “ of $34.99

So in regards to the Venu Sports Streaming Service, does that mean that ESPN Plus is being separated from the Disney Plus Bundle? Also are some of the other networks listed here are going to be removed from YouTube TV and other services since they're going stand alone here?

Luke, it's great that you don't pay for channels you don't watch, but wait—you will now pay for sports you watch, too. Do they think that there are that many people who watch all sports all the time? Football fans may subscribe from September to February, but I doubt they will keep it after that. With the billions these companies are paying for licensing rights, they had best be right that millions of people will shell out $40-50 per month. For each billion they pay out for licensing rights, they will need 1.6 million subscribers for a full year. But wait, you say, they will have ads too. While that is true, is it also true that ad revenue is drying up? As more and more ads make their way to streaming services, there will be far less ad slots that can command big dollars. Unless they develop a way to put 10-20 million eyes on a program, they will be very hard-pressed to bring in major ad dollars. To me, this seems like a big gamble by the streaming companies and one that could be a disaster if it does not play out the way they think it will.
