About this episode

Rumours of the NFL considering a new season-long international series TV package has StreamTime Sports co-hosts Nick Meacham and Chris Stone wondering how much more splicing the league can do to its broadcast rights. There's also time cover some breaking sports media news across Sky Sports, Tour de France, Netflix, Turner Sports and LaLiga.

Key points:

  • Is the NFL hosting 18 international games worth it to have a new $1B TV package?
  • Should the NFL be prioritising reach or revenue in non-US markets?
  • Does it matter that the Tour de France and T20 Cricket are leaving free-to-air TV in the UK?
  • Can Netflix’s Sprint position superstars like Noah Lyles and Sha'Carri Richardson to keep athletics relevant between Olympic Games?
  • Is Turner Sports interested in the Unrivalved 3x3 league or simply settling after losing the NBA?
  • Can Free Live Sports FAST channel launches provide a lifeline for challenger sports?
