That might be a good thing for out-of-market Bengals fans. So instead of paying the full price for all of Sunday Ticket they could just subscribe to the Bengals games for a reduced price. I think Apple TV+ is $5.00 a month. So it would be $5.00 a month plus whatever the package cost for the games. I have a year free because I bought a new iPhone several months ago and they tossed that in. It's okay, not great. I don't watch it very often. I probably won't renew when the free year ends.
You would think a la carte is coming, it seems inevitable and logical. My gut instinct is, they want to continue to maximize profits as long as possible by having a company pay billions before they pare it down to a package or game.
EDIT: The NFL, that is. I wonder if they'd allow a provider to dice it up like that on their own or not. I guess if they're paying that much for the rights, they should have the option.
