DirecTV Secures NFL Sunday Ticket Rights for Commercial Venues, While YouTube Limits Streaming to Home Viewers.
DirecTV has signed a multi-year agreement with EverPass Media to continue distributing NFL Sunday Ticket to commercial businesses, after YouTube took over the package for consumers. Sunday Ticket offers NFL fans a full menu of simultaneous games instead of the two or three regionally targeted ones offered on Sunday afternoons by CBS and Fox. DirecTV reaches more than 300,000 bars, restaurants and other commercial establishments across the U.S. and has reached similar deals in parallel with other streaming exclusives like Thursday Night Football on Prime Video.
