"NFL Execs and Pay TV Distributors' Battle Against New Sports Streaming Service"
NFL executives are reportedly upset over Disney-owned ESPN, FOX, and Warner Bros. Discovery's plans to launch a joint sports streaming service, feeling blindsided and left in the dark about the venture. They have been examining the league's contract with ESPN and FOX to find a way to stop the endeavor, which could potentially undermine the NFL's existing cable TV deals. The new streaming service will bundle together cable channels like ESPN, FOX, Fox Sports, TNT, and TBS, but its price and exact launch date are currently unknown.
