I know it is incredibly unlikely, but I do hope the outcome of the latest content/streaming apocalypse is actual a la carte ordering.

Had a blast watching Wrestle Dream the other night and wanted to get (more regularly) back into AEW. My options are 60-80 bucks a month for a “full” tv service or dealing with a mess of outdated APKs, sending payment information over VPNs, and all kinds of messes that just aren’t worth it.

Hoping the Max sports thing eventually gets AEW. I would gladly pay 20 or even 30 bucks a month if it got me all the weekly shows (PPVs would be nice but…). But the cheapest I can get is one of the Sling packages for 40 and… 40 bucks a month is a lot.

But yeah. Amazon (and I think also Apple?) have already started paving the way by letting you subscribe to other services as “channels” in theirs. Probably MASSIVE contract issues means it will take a few years, but I could easily see Fox/FX splitting out. Same with whoever owns the block of networks that include USA. And this will even better map to the royalties issue because then you are watching reruns of Frasier instead of having access to the VODs and deciding you want to pretend you liked Becker and getting that crew another few cents this month.
