Twitter Says It Will Stream Thursday Night Football
The news comes, as you’d expect, on Twitter from its COO Adam Bain. He tweets that the social media service will stream 10 Thursday Night Football games, including pre and post game shows and behind the scenes videos on the company’s Periscope service.
“This new deal builds on the great success of our Amplify partnership the past 3 years w/ the NFL…and now allows full LIVE game on Thursday,” he writes. Bain adds that Twitter will control “some of the games’ ad inventory.”
Verizon, Yahoo, and Amazon were believed to have also bid for the NFL streaming package. Facebook dropped out last week, Bloomberg reports. Twitter shares are flat in early trading, following a brief spike.
Wall Street’s been keeping a close eye on the NFL’s negotiations to add a streaming partner to the Thursday night mix, noted in the February deal that split the TV rights between CBS and NBC. To protect the broadcasters, it was widely believed that a streaming service would only have about two minutes per hour of ad inventory for local spots that would supplement, not replace, the national ones.
The industry will be eager to see whether the addition of a digital option will add to the NFL’s viewers, or mostlydivideexisting ones.
“Twitter is where live events unfold and is the right partner for the NFL as we take the latest step in serving fans around the world live NFL football,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says. “There is a massive amount of NFL-related conversation happening on Twitter during our games and tapping into that audience, in addition to our viewers on broadcast and cable, will ensure Thursday Night Football is seen on an unprecedented number of platforms this season. This agreement also provides additional reach for those brands advertising with our broadcast partners.”

This unironicly a good thing. If it catches on no one will need cable anymore.
Hope this makes League Pass a bit cheaper.
Lel who am i kidding.
>>66606537
How many shekels is this going to cost? Are we going to have to sign up for a premium Twitter account?
It's actually pretty clever
Adam silver talked about this a while back about how he wanted to integrate live games on your twitter feed. The nba already puts up highlights seconds after they happen but now imagine if you're just scrolling through your timeline and see that a game is heading into overtime. You can just click on the feed directly and you'll be watching

Oh yeah. That was the thing a lot people were using to stream the Mayweather/Pacquaio fight

Enjoy going over your bandwidth cap and paying out the ass...
The cable co's know everybody is bailing on cable and going to streaming, so they're all imposing bandwidth caps and as streaming uses more and more bandwidth, customers will exceed those caps and either have to pay a penalty, or sign up and pay for for a high cap.
Read an article that said once 4K streaming comes into effect, a customer could easily exceed a 350GB monthly cap after watching only 5-6 movies.
