By April 19, 2018No Comments

The streaming wars have drawn another army to the battlefield!
1) Hulu Live — $40
2) DirecTV Now — $35
3) Sling TV — $20
4) PlayStation Vue — $40
5) YouTube TV — $35
6)
Verizon — TBD

go90 will be a separate service.

Could Verizon roll the go90 content (AwesomenessTV, etc.) into the live TV service?

If yes, then this would put them on more equal footing with Hulu who is combining original content (The Handmaid’s Tale, etc.) with a robust live TV lineup.

Verizon also has the rights for mobile streaming of NFL games.
