Jumbos, is it non-exclusive because networks want to provide the content on their OTT apps? If so, don't the locals get a retrans fee for those subs, and if so why then would the networks
Katana--don't you think what will matter over time is how much people watch NXST channels on YouTube (and not what YouTube is paying today)? This is probably wrong, but it seems possible that the privileged... login to read the rest
Thanks for asking this. Just shows how little I know about these deals.
I asked a friend who worked in Hulu and he said they lose about $5 on every sub. So it may suggest that

YouTube tv pays significantly less to local broadcasters than cable providers. The fee for local broadcast tv is roughly 20 a month on top of the cable package.

i don't doubt that people love their legacy big 4 local TV news. But I'd note that there are four of them, and that audience is aging rapidly.

So here's my argument: an affiliate consists (mainly) of local news and what they get from the national network (mainly primetime shows and sports packages).
Let's make the math really easy and say they get $1/month/consumer.

Does anyone know what NXST gets from an OTT versus the MVPD's. I know it's lower but what are the reasons why? OTT seems to offer lower price for similar bundles. That could be part... login to read the rest

Just to add a little more: NXST owns the ABC affiliate in my hometown of new orleans. Charter's call included the line "you have to wonder why we would ever pay an ABC broadcast station... login to read the rest

This might be a buying opportunity, but I am seeing a lot of wishful thinking in this.

I'm more constructive on NXST here. Beyond being slightly cheaper, there's now incremental visibility on core and sub trends. And the Roe-V-Wade controversy is going to amp up this year's political spend, in a major way.
Over time we have seen ads migrate from cable/linear to CTV adds, as they can be more targeted. It appears ATSC 3.0 allows these groups to sell CTV ads with 3 to 4x CPM of... login to read the rest
ATSC 3.0 has been this pie-in-the-sky for broadcasters for so long. It still seems to be several years away from being a material profit contributor, per Perry's comments (right?). That optionality is clearly worth something... login to read the rest

Katana,
