Hot Take (Maybe, maybe not): Streaming only games should be on local outlets as well

[Dead2009]

What I mean by that, games that are exclusive to Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Peacock (and now Netflix) should be shown in the local markets of the teams that are on those streaming apps as well. How is it realistically fair for those that say wanna watch the Chiefs game on a thursday, but the only way to watch it is to sign up on Prime.

In my case, look at the Orioles and Jackson Holliday. His home debut was on a friday a few months back but the only way you could see it if you didnt go to the game? Apple TV. The Ravens are playing on Christmas Day again this year. The only way to see it? Netflix.

There's gonna come a time where Amazon and Netflix are going to bid to have the rights to a Super Bowl one year, and the only way you'll be able to see that game, is by paying for it. Imagine seeing a NFL team going undefeated and you didnt see the last game because you werent a subscriber. It's honestly BS.

At the end of the day, these games should be at least available to the local outlets of both teams. You dont need to switch out the feeds of the providers....just give us the feed in general.

I don't know why every production needs it's own streaming platform with exclusives. No one needs 10 different streaming services. It's not worth it.
