Yeah, no TV provider required. But cutting out 250 games is crap.
Oh well, goodbye DirecTV

Fans will inevitably lose interest and another company will buy television rights to the BPL. You're better off just streaming games online. If you are going to make people pay 50 bucks, you damn well better have every game.
No, but with any luck/pull strings by a certain bald, EFC will have more than a few games streamed. But sucks to be anyone wanting to watch Bournemouth or Brighton or Huddersfield Town.
Seriously though, who is going to pay $50 to see their team streamed "at least 3 times?"
*Well, ok, most matches will be viewable on replay

I have to say I have been impressed with NBC's coverage of the league up until this point. They have every right to start a subscription service, but they are doing it utterly wrong and this will ultimately fail. The fact that it is drastically overpriced for minimal coverage is embarrassing.
They can still make this work, but it's a gamble. But provider subscriptions are declining and maybe they're not getting what they need/want from providers. I doubt they're getting half of the $50 per box/year from Comcast or DirecTV (not that I want to add up my bill for last year...) so if they can find a way to bridge from the dying platform to what should be the next iteration of visual media it should work.
I wonder if the replay issue is a live broadcast/rights issue as much as a bandwidth issue (although that's probably their two main costs...), but we'll see soon whether they cut any of their in-studio talent as well. If any of the Rebecca, Robbie, Robbie, and Robbie are gone I'll be disappointed and worried.
Wife's looking to cut the cord, I've been researching things like Fubo and Sling and now my search is over and $50 for the year is good for me.

Yeah, I'll pay $50. After trying to watch dodgy streams with kids around, I'm not doing that again.
I don't mind at all. I never did the streams.
If we aren't on TV I listen to it on the radio. For me a really different game experience...especially with a couple of completely biased blues calling the game.
