The more I read this, the more I am impressed with how masterfully Comcast hedged its bets with this deal. Go past the headline and read what they made Disney agree to. Nicely done IMO. https://t.co/fL7T9HMdQj

NBC to intentionally make their streaming service inferior in attempt to stop cord cutting. Strategic masterstroke or Exhibit A in some future MBA case study on the risks of ignoring reality? https://t.co/EVcrBwfK0s

the good news is that soon you'll be able to pay Disney for Hulu and also pay Disney for Disney+, for some dumbass reason. https://t.co/OcBnP7bwFr

Massive. NBCU retaining control of shows by 2024 for its own streaming service, which will be free for all TV subscribers. (80M). It also means Hulu remains unchanged for three years. The big question now is whether NBCU will make its biggest series exclusive, or share with Hulu. https://t.co/cgYSKFoIXX

AT&T's forthcoming streaming service a 70 on the go90 Scale of Doomed Streaming Services; these moves will piss people off and lead to increased Friends piracy, not switching from Netflix. https://t.co/eJllLOQc29

Long ago I cut the cable cord and said “I will just buy the seasons of the shows I want.”
— Dieter Bohn (@backlon) May 14, 2019
Would say the rational move is to do that again WRT subscription video, but I bet many will only be available behind a subscription.

If Disney pays Comcast $500 million in 2019 for NBC content for 28 million subscribers https://t.co/tr6iIjPbp9 and https://t.co/yRDMDEMupn that seems to be ~$1.50 a subscriber a month.

More details from @sherman4949 on how NBC's streaming service will work. You only get the full service if you're a pay TV subscriber. If you pay for the service, you can only watch old showshttps://t.co/rVH0A9Ud91 pic.twitter.com/YJ32yv5voG

Network seems to have forgotten that consumers can still get the network free to air via an antenna... NBC's 2020 streaming service won't be very compelling for cord cutters — and that's by design https://t.co/2S7v6ipwkL
