NBA rights proved to be a hotter commodity than many expected — seemingly including WBD CEO David Zaslav. The Charter deal is a coup for WBDWall Street has had little confidence in Zaslav and company lately. AdvertisementAfter the news that WBD had done just that with Charter, Greenfield heaped praise on WBD. As great as WBD's deal with Charter may be, Greenfield doesn't believe Zaslav is out of the woods. If Zaslav surprises the Street again with his Comcast deal, his company may have better days ahead.

☆ Streaming deals are key to future of NFL viewership, fandom
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-10 | by ( Lillian Rizzo | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

When the NFL signed an 11-year, $111 billion media rights deal in 2021, streaming was already part of the mix. Live sports broadcasts have maintained a large audience on traditional TV, even as consumers flee the cable bundle for streaming services. The majority of viewership still comes from traditional TV, according to ratings data. Schroeder said Tuesday that the NFL's strategy exists in both the traditional TV and streaming worlds. Netflix will stream NFL games for the next three years, with two games being streamed this year on the platform, and at least one matchup in both 2025 and 2026.

AdvertisementThose moves show just how rapidly the cable TV business is unraveling. WBD's direct-to-consumer segment still loses money, and its streaming revenue actually declined 6% from last year — even though Max added 3.7 million subscribers. WBD added 3.9 million streaming subscribers abroad last quarter, thanks to its rollout across Europe ahead of the Olympics, which the company broadcasts outside the US. If that service attracts enough cord-cutters, it could help stop the bleeding in WBD's fast-declining pay TV business in a best-case scenario. Join forces with other media firmsAdvertisementAlthough WBD is struggling as the pay-TV business shrinks, the silver lining is that it's not alone.

The streaming giant has been reaching out to broadcasters this week in the hopes of finding a partner to produce the NFL games it will air on Christmas Day this year, according to people familiar with the matter. Netflix will show two games on Christmas Day this year, followed by at least one matchup in both 2025 and 2026, the company announced last month. Unlike WWE, Netflix's deal for Christmas NFL games doesn't come with a full production team. That's because Netflix could be auditioning as a future long-term media rights partner for NFL games in place of a legacy media company, such as Paramount, Fox or NBC. Representatives for Netflix, the NFL, NBCUniversal, CBS, ESPN and Fox declined to comment.
