I did a free 7 day trial of apple just to watch a braves game lol. There was one series i liked, the silo. so i binge watched it. Other than that I thought the limited choices of shows (very little sports) sucked.

 

Apple is being smart. They're not overextending and taking huge losses like Disney did with Disney+. They're churning content at a lower rate and hoping to leverage other draws to fill in the blanks. If they get sports beyond soccer, they'll be set.

They (Apple) have to be pretty happy with MLS Season Pass. I haven’t heard of any actual streaming issues with the product, they also make certain games free every match day to keep those with an interest intrigued, and now that Messi is in the MLS, their numbers will only go up.

they only have around 1m season pass subs right now which to me seemed really low. otherwise I agree--with Messi the numbers could explode at any moment and that is the first in a long list of huge dominoes to fall.  

I love their shows, their MLS coverage is awesome, and their MLB games are amazing.  I would drop netflix before apple at this point (course i do get mls for free being a cltfc sth)

What would be wild is if Apple finally buys Disney. Those rumors have been around for forever but Iger’s recent comments might make the rumor carry more weight than it ever has before.

I would rate AppleTV MLB coverage for the Braves game I saw as “ok” but that’s in comparison to Ballys coverage. I’m not a soccer fan so not much interest in them. Also don’t like big corps owning everything.

Lucky Apple is only $6-7 per month, otherwise I'd drop it. I've watched a couple series and watching Jon Stewart's show now, couple movies here and there, but it's far from being a replacement for cable/satellite.

I only have Apple TV to watch Charlotte FC lose each week. I’ll prob be getting rid of that soon.

I noticed yesterday that FuboTV is advertising they have Bally Sports. If that is true it will be a one-stop-shop for football and hockey.  I’m interested.
