I won't be purchasing anything new to watch.  Especially not something 3x what I'm paying now.

Right, I am wondering where it all ends other than spending $400 to $500 a month for "everything."

I've got 3 of them now and they're sold on Amazon.

I assume that means you are very happy with them?

Also, do you pay for any streaming/TV services?

Yeah I think it's worth it. You get way more than with cable and it pays for itself in 2 months basically. They do updates regularly.

We don't pay for any streaming services and I actually tried to cancel our cable in May but they knocked $100 off our bill for a year so I kept it. 

Here's a list of some of the shows I've watched over the last few months. 

1923 X Paramount +
Reacher X Prime
Paradise X Hulu
Gangs of London X AMC+
Dare Devil X Netflix
Bosch Legacy X Prime
Dope Thief X Apple TV
Mobland AMC+
Your Friends and Neighbors x Apple TV
Stick x Apple TV
Godfather of Harlam MGM+
Full Swing Netflix

TKOs corporate greed is real.

ESPN Unlimited $29.99 (PLEs)
Netflix $17.99 (RAW) - 
Cable $83.99 (NXT & SmackDown)
$132 a month Have fun guys!

That can't be sustainable but I guess we will find out over time.

I think a lot of wrestling fans will have to pick and choose.  I am glad I jumped ship on WWE.  Not because it wasn't fun, it was, but because it was too much to keep up with and that was years ago.

Yeah.  I don't think there is any way that is still the case in 5 years, if that long.  Most people are already fed up with multiple streaming services with raising rates every year.  And the WWE's target audience, I would guess, is young males, age 16 to 30ish, who aren't going to have as much disposable income for that many services.

I would not be surprised if those services ending up offering combined packages with other channels included and essentially returning to something that looks like cable but streaming. It just seems inevitable to see it go full circle. 

We have our answer on ads, here is the Google AI Overview:

NFL RedZone will feature commercials for the first time this season, beginning in 2025, according to host Scott Hanson and the league. The broadcast will include a limited number of ads displayed in a "double-box" format, with the commercial playing next to muted gameplay. This change will alter Hanson's signature opening line from "Seven hours of commercial-free football starts now!" to "Seven hours of RedZone football starts now!".

I can’t remember the specifics, but Hanson had to change his messaging last year. He caught flack for saying “7 hours commercial free…” then there was a dual-box commercial (similar to what is being promoted today) that ran during Red Zone. As long as it is extremely limited, it’s not going to impact my enjoyment.

Hanson seems like an awesome dude and for my money Red Zone is the best live telecast you can find.
