With the start of the NHL season it looks like FS1 has not renewed its contracts with Hulu, YoutubeTV, or Sling. They seem to be only available through the major cable companies and DirectTV. Since they hold major contracts with the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS, etc. and are one of the main reasons many people including myself have yet to cut the cord, why don’t they go to a full on streaming service?
Is it really more lucrative to put your content out through a middleman?
I’d easily pay $20/mo. for a sports streaming service if I could drop my enormous cable bill.
I think they will in time; there has been a massive movement to streaming services in the last few years.
