Re: Great.... NOT! You ain't kidding! Last estimate I heard was 1.5 million subscribers to ST, which both CBS and Fox want the cap to be. That's $666 per year in cost, so if they charge $200, Sunday Ticket is a $466 loss per signup. Unless the cap on Sunday Ticket subscribers was raised? |

Sunday Ticket last year for 1st time subscribers was $300. People that have it get a discount. DirecTv is going to pay $1 BILLION per year. So even assuming the $300 per subscribers and assume 100% of Sunday Ticket subscribers pay the $100 for the Superfan package it would take a minimum of 2.5 million Sunday Ticket subscribers for DirecTv to break even. So that's about 15% of all DirecTv subscribers? Um right. |
