Barcs got immolated for being a trolling douche, this dude keeps it up and it will be my Holy mission from God. _
Barcs asked to be banned because we couldn't handle his mad rhyme skillz. Soxx has one foot in the grave already, why bother?
You do not know the inner-workings of these stations, so stop making assumptions please. The networks are not even profiting off me, they are profiting off the companies that are paying for the commercials to be aired. So again, how am I supporting the NFL when I am watching a broadcast from CBS/FOX/NBC? And not for nothing, but do you realize how big businesses operate? not all businesses profit from every division. Take SONY for example, the only thing that is keeping SONY alive right now is the Playstation division. The Playstation division pays for the other parts of the companies to stay alive. (Phone, TV, etc are all costing SONY millions of dollars right now, they are taking major losses) So you automatically assuming that every last dollar/penny a network makes from the commercials that air during a NFL games goes right back into cost that it takes to broadcast these games is wrong. The NFL is obviously one of the stronger parts of these networks, the money they get, gets spread out through the entire network, it doesnt go all back into that 3 hour broadcast they do once a week.......
I'm going to fucking bury you. http://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbadenhausen/2011/12/14/the-nfl-signs-tv-deals-worth-26-billion/ The NFL Signs TV Deals Worth $27 Billion Comment Now announced nine-year extensions to its broadcast television packages with Fox, NBC and CBS under which the networks are expected to pay roughly 60% more. The new agreements will run through the 2022 season as the current deals expire after the 2013 season. Each network gets the rights to three Super Bowls and NBC maintains its flexible schedule on Sunday nights during the second half of the season. NBC will also add the Thanksgiving primetime game starting in 2014. Financial terms have not been released, but the three networks are expected to pay roughly $3 billion a year on average annually compared to the current $1.93 billion they collectively pay. ESPN re-upped its dealwith the NFL earlier this year at an annual rate of $1.9 billion. Factor in other media deals with the NFL Network, DirectTV ($1 billion annually), Westwood One radio and others, and NFL teams will divvy up nearly $7 billion in media money starting in 2014. That is more than $200 million per team every year before one ticket, beer or jersey is sold. The NFL’s new 10-year labor agreement and increased TV rights deals are the reason that NFL teams are worth $1.04 billion on average or twice as much as the average MLB team and three times what NBA teams command. The TV pacts will test the balance sheets of CBS, News Corp-owned Fox and NBC (owned by Comcast and General Electric), but the networks realize that there is a dwindling amount of must-see live programming. And the NFL is still the king when it comes to delivering an audience. The Super Bowl last year drew a record audience of 111 million people. NFL games represent 23 of the 25 most-watched TV programs this fall and they attract twice as many average viewers as broadcast primetime shows. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_League_on_television National Football League on television From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Television booth at Raymond James Stadium The television rights to broadcast National Football League (NFL) games are the most lucrative and expensive rights of any American sport. It was television that brought professional football into prominence in the modern era after World War II. Since then, NFL broadcasts have become among the most-watched programs on American television, and the financial fortunes of entire networks have rested on owning NFL broadcasting rights. This has raised questions about the impartiality of the networks' coverage of games and whether they can criticize the NFL without fear of losing the rights and their income. Since the 1960s, all regular season and playoff games broadcast in the United States have been aired by national television networks. Until the broadcast contract ended in 2013, the terrestrial television networks CBS ($3.73B), NBC ($3.6B) and Fox($4.27B) — as well as cable television's ESPN ($8.8B) — paid a combined total of US$20.4 billion[1] to broadcast NFL games. From 2014 to 2022, the same networks will pay $39.6 billion for the same broadcast rights.[2] The NFL thus holds broadcast contracts with four companies (CBS Corporation, Comcast, 21st Century Fox and The Walt Disney Company/Hearst Corporation, respectively) that control a combined vast majority of the country's television product. League-owned NFL Network, on cable television, also broadcasts a selected number of games nationally. However, the league imposes several strict television policies to ensure that stadiums are filled and sold out,[3][4][5] to maximize telecast ratings. Under the current contracts, regionally shown games on Sunday afternoons are televised on CBS and Fox, which primarily carry games of AFC and NFC teams respectively (the conference of the road team determines the broadcaster of an interconference game). Nationally televised regular season games on Sunday and Monday nights are aired on NBC and ESPN, respectively, while the NFL Network televises Thursday night games during the regular season. During the postseason, NBC broadcasts the first two playoff games, while CBS and Fox airs the rest of the AFC and NFC games, respectively. The Super Bowl rotates annually among CBS, Fox, and NBC. NFL preseason telecasts are more in line with the other major sports leagues' regular-season telecasts: preseason telecasts are more locally-produced, usually by alocal affiliate of one of the above terrestrial television networks. Some preseason games will air nationally, however. _ Complete Coverage: The Business Of The NFL
Cowchips. Compare the per minute advertising rate for an NFL game with the 4:00 a.m. rate. The NFL's higher because of higher viewshp which includes viewers who on one hand say they won't support those "money hungry scumbag" NFL owners but who nevertheless watch (and $upport) NFL football games in all their 24-carat hypocritical glory. You support murder! You condone murder! No skin off my back, just own up to it Mr. Aaron Hernandez-in-a-recliner.
Because ratings, based on viewers, dictates the prices advertisers pay which dictates how much the NFL broadcasts are worth and how much the NFL makes.
Explain how I am trolling? I asked for you evidence, you have not provided any evidence.... Im done talking about this until someone starts bringing some evidence forward.....
Wow, looky here. A meaningful thread de-railed by Soxx and Stokes, with a cup of joe on the side. Never thought I'd see the day. This site is more unreadable every day. It's not just all the assholes who've abandoned this place, if anyone's noticed.
I thought the mods were going to crack down on trolling. Soxx suggesting the Networks don't make billions off of HIS type of viewership is out and out trolling. _
100% true but technically, me watching a NFL game, does not give them a penny. I am not giving them any financial gains when I watch the game. They are getting financial gains from outside sources, that I am not associated with.
You are done talking because you been called out for out and out trolling. The NFL pays BILLIONS for the broadcast rights. I posted the articles and if you have half a brain you've heard about it for years. This is what YOU said. Mods--when does this stop? _
Im not the one who derailed this thread, they were the ones who did when they brought up the nonsense about me not watching NFL games. I didnt bring that up, I only responded because they were trying to make me look bad.
You can not be this stupid. This is out and out trolling. Either you understand how TV ad revenues are generated and you're trolling or you don't understand and someone needs to take your computer, car, voting rights and ATM card away from you. Mods, seriously--when does it stop? _
No, that is not technically. Technically your voluntary actions are a part of a revenue generating system that you are aware of.
You said the networks are getting billions directly from the NFL, you are wrong, the NFL is getting billions from the networks. So continue to pwn yourself......
When does it stop? when both you and Mangolden Showers stop brining it up in topics that had nothing to do with it. You tell me JStokes, when does it stop? When are the mods going to stop you from discussing it? You guys brought it up, NOT ME. You are the guilty party here for bringing it up, more specifically Mangolden but you were involved right after.
