The lead in would just have been some movie. Plus, the B/R Live side will air a February 9 one hour special to introduce the league. This quote from Turner's Lenny Daniels is also key to indicate it is a time buy at worst and no rights fees at best and they are splitting ad revenues, "This is a true partnership and The Alliance will have our full support in the distribution of its live game coverage and content across the Turner Sports portfolio.” Guess we're reading that statement different. I'd be shocked if AAF is having to buy time. AAF may be paying to produce the content, but I'd bet what hair I have left Turner bought the right to air it.

A week 1 game on CBS kinda helps, but a week 2 game on TNT does them more realistic ideas for what to charge. The 20 minute talk I posted yesterday from the VP discussing the remote broadcasting gave a deeper dive into their expenses and distribution.

But frankly if the quality of football is decent, and it doesn't get derailed by the sideshow issues that took down XFL. It might have a shot. I mean God knows the interest in football has increased since 2001. Good news for them is that they have better broadcast partners than the more recent defunct league (the UFL). Who were only on a local RSN by Season 2(and only on HDNet and Versus in Season 1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if the NFL sees it that way. And if it is... it's good for them and bad for the other leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The XFL did this for their inaugural broadcast, but pulled the trigger way too late on the NY/NJ-Vegas slog to go to the last-minute Chicago-Orlando finish.

Particularly when there's a better game on elsewhere. Going "Red Zone" style is difficult for Week 1 as they need to make sure that viewers know who the players are. Constantly switching between even two games with rosters people don't really know will cause confusion which they'll read about via Twitter. Now, I wonder if the release of the AAF app is delayed or at least some aspects of it since games will also be streamed via B/R Live. Ebersol has called themselves a "technology company" first and foremost, and basically, told us the app was to be a panacea for all sport and gaming apps before them. That app is nearly as important as the quality of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
