Which probably means:

1. You will not be able to watch any of these networks on any device other than your cable-connected television.

2. Every movie will be PPV.

3. To get the "deal" you'll first need to subscribe to the CBN, WWF, Nickelodeon, Bowling Network and HSN 1/2/3 bundle along with land line service for the low cost of $79/mo.

4. Your bill will now include a new "negotiation fee" for paying the lawyers who put this deal together, whether you subscribe to this set of services or not.

5. Then, Disney+ will also include CBN, WWF and Nickelodeon, and HULU will include Peacock and then Disney+ will include HULU, and Apple TV+ will buy Peacock and subsume all their content... and then Max will include Apple TV+... and you'll end up getting these services from 4 different providers, each at a "vastly reduced price", but the overall cost will exceed the original service subscription fee.


Cable company (re)launches Cable TV


Soon: Netflix, AppleTV+, and Peacock will all move to the ad-supported tier in the Comcast bundle, thereby completing the cycle.
