Netflix announced Wednesday that the streaming giant has secured the exclusive rights to air two NFL games on Christmas Day this upcoming season, and at least one Yuletide game each of the next two years. While we won't know the matchups until the full 2024 NFL schedule is revealed Wednesday night, Netflix is already celebrating the blockbuster deal.
Assuming you subscribe to each service for the entirety of the 18-week NFL regular season, that means you'll have to shell out nearly $165 just to watch games on those four streaming platforms. Add on YouTube TV for $72.99 per month and NFL Sunday Ticket for $349 to cover every other game next season, and you're looking at spending nearly $900 to watch football.
Now, there are ways to lower the cost by only subscribing to certain platforms during the months they host NFL games. But with so many streaming services out there, Axios media reporter Kerry Flynn noted that it can be difficult to keep track.
"When myself and other users look at their monthly credit card bill, it's looking a little alarming with all those individual line items of those services," she said. "So really there's that like price sticker shock."
Earlier this year, ESPN, FOX and Warner Bros. Discovery announced they were planning to combine their sports offerings into a new streaming package that will be available later this year. The new service will reportedly bring together coverage of the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college football, the FIFA World Cup, and golf, tennis and cycling events.
Netflix uses AWS for almost everything cloud computing. That includes online storage, a recommendation engine, video transcoding, databases, and analytics. So most of the $1 billion Netflix plans to spend on cloud services will go into Amazon Cloud Services.
These commitments may require a greater investment in AWS cloud services. Second, to satisfy shareholders and to avoid external financing for day-to-day operations, the company needs higher net profits.
To provide full cost visibility, the company deploys a custom data dashboard. The Efficiency Dashboard serves as a transparent feedback loop to its data consumers and producers. Netflix credits merging cost and usage context via dashboards for its cost-efficient architecture.
To appreciate how big of a deal that is, consider the amounts of data and different platforms Netflix needs to aggregate in one place, compute, and send to engineers so they can come up with working cloud cost optimization strategies.
The video streaming service generally uses two types of data platforms in motion and data at rest. While the first cost category involves processing transient data, data at rest systems involve physical data storage costs. Both categories include infrastructure spending.
Netflix gets its AWS billing data through the AWS Cost and Usage Report, like everyone else. You might know that the data can be tough to derive meaningful business insights from whether you consume it via S3 or CSV. It is even more challenging for decision-makers who are not data scientists.
Netflix uses a microservices architecture on AWS. Microservices architecture helps an organization to scale without additional work. It also helps maintain a cost-effective operation in the cloud and eliminates a single source of failure even if engineers change/update/upgrade multiple service areas in one go.
That agility helped the video streaming service innovate faster and cost-effectively, leading to Chaos Engineering, Spinnaker, and Global cloud, as well as the unprecedented growth Netflix sees today.
For example, you may see a high cloud bill at the end of a given month which may raise some alarms. However, you may have also signed new clients who demand more cloud usage and you may have also built a new product feature as part of a new and more lucrative client contract.
You do not need a team of data scientists or an in-house cost tool to improve your cloud costs. Instead, you can use a robust cloud cost intelligence solution to dig into your AWS bill, understand what you are spending and why, and maximize your ROI.
Comcast CEO Brian Roberts didn't specify a price for the bundle, which will be called StreamSaver, but said it will be "a vastly reduced" compared to other streaming services. StreamSaver will launch this month, Roberts said during a conference hosted by investment research firm MoffettNathanson, but did not give an exact date.
StreamSaver is the latest in a trend toward streaming bundles this year launched by media companies in hopes of driving growth while cutting costs. Entertainment and media giants have struggled to turn a profit on streaming, given the hefty costs of producing original content in the highly competitive video-on-demand market. Another problem plaguing streaming content providers is inconsistent subscription revenue due to customers frequently adding and dropping platforms depending on their cost and programming.
Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery in May announced they will offer a bundle that includes Disney+, Hulu and Max. Users of the new bundle, set to launch this summer, will have access to content from ABC, CNN, DC, Discovery, Disney, Food Network, FX, HBO, HGTV, Hulu, Marvel, Pixar, Searchlight and Warner Bros.
In a separate move, ESPN, Fox Corp. and Warner Bros. Discovery earlier this year announced the launch of an app this fall that will group together most of their respective sports content to U.S. users.
Fortune in December reported that AppleTV+ and Paramount+ were mulling bundling their streaming services. Former Paramount Global CEO Bob Bakish stepped down from his role in April, a management shift at the media and entertainment company as it considers a potential merger or sale (Paramount is the owner of CBS News.)
Originals, kids' titles and back catalogs all make a difference when deciding which streaming service is worth your money, along with the availability of new releases and blockbuster movies. Examine the library offerings of each streamer to determine whether they carry all episodes of shows you enjoy, movies, older titles or a selection of foreign content.
Now that most streaming platforms offer ad-based options, you can choose whether you want to pay to watch without commercials, or if tolerating ads is better for your budget. Monthly prices start around $6-$7 and go up to $23, but you can also consider rotating your services to pay less overall for streaming TV in a year.
With any streaming service, you'll want to know how many screens you can watch at a time. For example, Netflix's ad-based plan allows two simultaneous streams, but you have to upgrade to the premium version if your family needs four screens. Look for platform offerings that let your household stream on multiple devices at once if that's what you need.
