Part 6/7:
In the realm of traditional sports broadcasting, Comcast has initiated a shift in pricing for regional sports networks (RSNs) in specific markets, such as Greater Boston. With a restructuring that elevates these RSNs from their base subscription tiers to more premium packages, subscribers may find themselves confronting increased costs if they wish to maintain access to their favorite teams. Comcast’s rationale behind this move cites declining viewership numbers for these networks, corroborating trends observed across the industry as sports viewership patterns evolve.
