YouTube has announced pricing for NFL Sunday Ticket

Not much difference in what DirecTV asked and You Tube is asking from subscribers.

But I'm not sure that price point is going to bring in new customers.

As Alex Sherman of CNBC.com reported in June, the NFL’s deals with CBS and Fox prevent the NFL from offering Sunday Ticket at a significantly lower price. This helps maximize viewership of the games offered by CBS and Fox in a given market, by keeping people from purchasing the ability to watch all games.

Don’t get mad at CBS or Fox or YouTube about this. The NFL could have taken less from CBS and Fox in order to secure the ability to sell Sunday Ticket for less. The league, taking full advantage of its broadcast antitrust exemption, maximized the revenue from all broadcasters while also making it more expensive for average fans to watch the games they want to watch.

Basically, Apple wanted to buy the package and make it cheaper for fans. The NFL said no, no, no.
