• Fubo CEO, David Gandler, is unhappy about Comcast’s decision to exclusively stream an NFL Wild Card game on Peacock.
  • Fubo pays to air NBC, so the decision by Comcast creates competition between the two streaming platforms.
  • Peacock’s exclusive stream of the game reached 23 million viewers, making it the most-streamed event ever for the service.

    I absolutely hate that sports, especially the NFL, is getting locked behind streaming services. Football is my favorite sport, but I will not pay to have every streaming service to watch games. I know I’m probably the outlier here. It’s decisions like this that will promote illicit streaming of the games. Take something that was free and put it behind a paywall and people will find a way to get it for free again.
