Episode Details

Streaming giants Netflix, Amazon, and YouTube have united under a new D.C. lobbying group called the Streaming Access and Choice Alliance to fight back against rising political pressure over sports streaming costs and complexity. As lawmakers push bills to end game blackouts and simplify access—some fans now pay over $1,500 annually—the alliance argues streaming actually expands sports reach with features like multi-view and personalization.

They’re also challenging outdated antitrust laws dating back to 1961, positioning themselves as a direct advocate for consumer choice amid growing scrutiny from Congress.
