Baseball’s role in Dish Network vs Direct TV

March 23rd, 2008

A lot of people talk about the connection between sports and entertainment nowadays. Games that used to be watched for the pure sake of watching athletic competition are now treated like they’re some Disney movie or rock concert. That takes some of the enjoyment out of it for me, but it doesn’t mean I’m going to stop watching.

Take for example how a company like Direct TV is benefitting from sports. Baseball plays a huge role for a lot of people when they’re choosing between Dish Network vs Direct TV, since the league’s games package is only available on one service and not the other. No wonder it’s worth around a billion dollars for a service the carry the network.
