HELLO EVERYONE WELCOME BACK TO
THAT WE NOW THAT'S RIGHT A
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL SEEMS TO
BE JOINING THE
21TH CENTURY. FINALLY MLB
REVISING IT'S STREAMING RULES
ALLOWING TEAMS TO MAKE THEIR
OWN
STREAMING DEALS IN LOCAL
MARKETS IN JOINING US NOW IS
JASON COHEN IS THE CEO OF
THE STREAMABLE JASON ONE OF HIS
REMOVAL IS A WEBSITE FOCUSING
ON ALL THINGS STREAMING.
SO WHAT DOES THIS
MEAN A.
>> FOR THE AVERAGE FAN YOU'VE
GOT TO BREAK IT DOWN FOR THE
AVERAGE FAN, A K A BAKER AND
ME.
>> CHAIR SO I THINK THERE WAS A
LOT OF EXCITEMENT WHEN THIS
CAME OUT LAST WEEK AND WE SAW
THIS IN MOTION EARLIER THIS
YEAR.
>> WENT AND YANKEES FOUGHT
BACK.
>> A MAJORITY SHARE OF THE
YES NETWORK SHE ALONG WITH
AMAZON AND SEEING WHERE
AND HISTORIC THE MAJOR LEAGUE
BASEBALL HAS ALLOWED OUT OF
MARKET STREET WHERE IS MADE IN
EASIER
FOR FANS ACROSS THE COUNTRY
FROM FAVORITE TEAM SO WAST AND
AND THOSE IN MARKET CREWS ARE
GETTING RID
OF CABLE. WHAT THIS NEW
ANNOUNCEMENT DOES IS IT PUTS IN
MOTION THE POSSIBILITY THAT
TEAMS COULD AND GOES SELL
STREAMING RIGHT OVER THE TOP.
WHAT THAT ACTUALLY MEANS IN THE
NEXT YEAR OR 2, IT'S STILL GET
ON THE AIR BUT WE'VE ALREADY
FOR WORD FROM SINCLAIR AND THE
YANKEES THAT STARTING
NEXT YEAR. THEY'RE LIKELY TO
TEST SELLING SOME INDIVIDUAL
GAMES PROBABLY NOT TIRED AND
PEACE TO
YOU ALL.
>> ON A SERVICE LIKE THIS THAT
SO HOW UGLY COULD THAT GET DAD
WITH THESE
CABLE COMPANIES FIGHTING WITH
AMAZON AND ALL THESE OTHER
PEOPLE FOR THE
STREAMING RIGHTS OR WILL IT
KIND OF BE WHAT WE SAW WITH THE
N F OUT WORDS LIKE FOX
BASICALLY HAS THE THURSDAY
NIGHT GAME BUT THEN AMAZON GETS
THE STREAMING RIGHTS TO IT SO
WE KIND OF SEE A BROKEN UP THAT
WAY.
>> IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY
INTERESTING THE CABLE
DISTRIBUTORS ARE KIND OF THE
MISSING LINK THAT ALL THIS AND
IT'S REALLY A QUESTION OF.
>> HOW MUCH THE FACT THAT YOU
ULTIMATELY DO WE'VE ALREADY
SEEN MULTIPLE CARRIAGE DISPUTES
FOR INSTANCE, FOX REGIONAL
SPORTS NETWORKS
WHICH WORK WIRED BY SINCLAIR
EARLIER
THIS YEAR WERE DROPPED BY DISH
NETWORK ANY AND HASN'T
RETURNED SINCE AND SO WHETHER
THESE GAMES ACTUALLY END UP
GETTING SOLD OVER THERE
TOP REALLY COMES DOWN TO HOW
MUCH THESE CABLE DISTRIBUTORS
SAY HEY YOU CAN'T DO THIS
BECAUSE THAT IS GOING TO SIGN
UP FOR MAKE MY CABLE PACKAGE.
WELL MIGHT END UP PACK AND IN
THE SHORT
TERM IS TEAMS TO HAVE A NEW ARE
AS AN AGREEMENT SO LIKE THE
MIAMI MARLINS AND THE
KANSAS CITY. TEAMS WILL
ULTIMATELY HAVE NEW DEALS
COMING UP IN THE NEXT YEAR
AS PART OF THEIR DEAL AS A
STRIKE WITH THESE REGIONAL
SPORTS NETWORK THEY MAY SAY,
HEY WE'RE LEFT TO SELL THEIR
LIMITED
DATA GAMES
BROADER SET OF GAMES TOO FAT
JASON, WHAT OPPORTUNITY DOES
THIS PRESENT FOR THE MLB.
>> THIS IS ACTUALLY A HUGE
OPPORTUNITY MUSEO HE'S
A STAR STREAMING SERVICES
SPECIFICALLY AROUND SPORTS LIKE
TO ZONE. AND YES
CAMP LAST AND WHAT THIS
ULTIMATELY CAN
DO IS ALLOW THOSE A STREET IN A
COMPANIES TO ACTUALLY GO AND
BUY RIGHTS TO IN-MARKET
STREAMING. SO WE SAW THIS OF
LITTLE BIT ARE AND MAJOR LEAGUE
SOCCER SO FOR INSTANCE,
TEENS SOLD IN-MARKET STREAMING
RIGHTS TO ESPN PLUS THE CHICAGO
FIRE. YOU SAW TEAMS SELL IT TO
YOU I'M DOWN AUSTIN CALL SLOW
SPORT AND YOUTUBE TV EVEN GOT
IN-MARKET STREAMING RIGHTS TO
AFC AN ORLANDO CITY TEAM.
SO WHAT THIS ULTIMATELY
ALLOWS THAT TEAMS TO DO IS
BREAK UP THESE IN-MARKET
STREAMING RIGHTS AND THEN GOING
TO BE DEALS WITH INDIVIDUAL
STREAMING COMPANIES AND THEN
SELL THEM OFF
THAT CHANCE.
>> I'M JASON YOU OBVIOUSLY
CAN'T GET TOO BIG OR TITANS IN
THE INDUSTRY THAT AMAZON AND OF
COURSE THE NEW
YORK YANKEES. HOW MUCH DO YOU
THINK THEY WERE BEHIND SORT OF
THIS PUSH TO KIND OF CHANGE THE
LANDSCAPE LIKE THIS.
>> I THINK THIS IS
IN MOTION. A COUPLE YEARS BUT
ULTIMATELY THE YANKEES HAVE
SEEN RATINGS DROP IN THE
LOCAL MARKETS YEAR AFTER YEAR
EVEN THOUGH THAT TEAM HAS BEEN
PERFORMING WELL SO THEY SEE THE
WRITING ON THE WALL
THAT COURT EVEN THOUGH FANS
STILL FEEL A NEED TO KEEP CABLE
FOR SPORT. BUT I THINK WHEN
THEY SAW THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY
BACK PART OF
THAT YET NOW WE'RE WENCH FOX
AND THEN ULTIMATELY DISNEY WAS
FORCED TO SELL
I THINK THEY BOTH KIND OF SAW
THIS OPPORTUNITY TO TRY
SOMETHING
EARLIER THIS YEAR
WHEN CHRIS RIPLEY THIS SINCLAIR
SAID YANKEES AND AMAZON AND
SINCLAIR TESTIMONY IS OVER THE
TOP THEY SAID THEY WANT TO DO
SOMETHING
A LITTLE BIT BY TESTING
DIFFERENT AUDIO TRACKS OR
EVEN SOMETHING LIKE I PLAYED
OUT ON TOP OF THIS THE ITS
WHICH AXONS ARE DONE WITH THEIR
THURSDAY FOOTBALL GAMES AND HER
X-RAY THE SO
I THINK WITH THIS IS IS YOU
HAVE A BIG TEAM UP BIG TECH
COMPANY AND
BIG DISTRIBUTOR. ALL TOGETHER
AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
REINVENT WHAT MAJOR LEAGUE
BASEBALL CAN LOOK
LIKE ON AND I THINK THE YANKEES
ARE GOING TO BE THERE
BREEDING GROUND FOR WHAT IS
ULTIMATELY COULD EVEN
ACROSS MAJOR.
>> I WILL SAY JASON I KNOW IF
YOU'RE A SPORTS FAN RIGHT IT'S
BEEN HARD TO FIND A STREAMING
SERVICE WHERE YOU CAN GET
EVERYTHING THAT
YOU WANT ON ONE PARTICULAR
SERVICE TO DO YOU FORESEE A DAY
RIGHT WHERE THERE WILL BE A
ONE-STOP SHOP FOR SPORTS FANS
THAT KING AT ALL OR SPORTS
MEANS IN ONE STREAMING SERVICE.
>> SO HERE'S THE CHALLENGE SO
INTERNATIONALLY WE'VE SEEN
THIS LITTLE IT DOES OWN WHICH
HAS REALLY FOCUSED ON.
>> SIGHTINGS
SLIGHT BOX.
>> STAYING AND SENT IN A US
INTERNATIONALLY IS HAS
DONE THIS IN CANADA. AN NFL
SUNDAY TICKET FOR NEARLY PICKED
ON THIS AND
OTHER MARKETS AND I THINK
THAT'S THE ULTIMATE GOAL FOR
THIS IN THE US, THE HARDEST
THING IN THE US MARKET IS THESE
RIGHTS FEES HAVE GONE UP AND UP
AND UP AND ARE SANDS MADE SO
MUCH MONEY BY THE FACT THAT
CABLE DISTRIBUTORS
HAVE TO. FOR EVERYONE TO GET
THE CHANCE TO HAVE THIS SUBSET
OF THE ATTACK 15% OF SPORTS
FANS,
THE ULTIMATE THEY WANT TO ONE
THING THAT WE DID SEE EARLIER
THIS YEAR WE ACTUALLY BROKE THE
STORY THAT THE NBA WILL BE
SELLING IN THE 18 EAT
OVER THAT TOP AND THEY BECAME
THE FIRST SPORTS, THE TO SELL
THEIR EACH AL.
THE TOP. BUT HERE'S THE PROBLEM
THE CHANNEL ITSELF IF YOU BUY
IT OVER THE TOP $7
A MONTH, DIRECT CABLE
DISTRIBUTOR, THEY PAY
$0.33 A SHOW IS ALMOST 20 TIMES
MORE EXPENSIVE
FOR IT. NBA, FANS BUY DIRECTLY
FROM THE BEACH AND IF THEY'VE
GOT A PART OF OUR
WATER TABLE. SO THAT'S GOING TO
BE THE CHALLENGE WITH SO THIS
CAN THE ECONOMICS
WORK OUT WE ALL DREAM AROUND
ALL A CAR BUT WITHOUT A BUNDLE
OF IT
VERY HARD TO SEE THAT THE FANS
ACTUALLY GOING TO END UP SAVING
