Every Sunday, families across the country gather around the TV to cheer for their favorite NFL team. College rivalries ignite living rooms and local bars alike. These moments are more than entertainment. They bring us together, building community in a way few things can.
But now, fans are being asked to pay more and get less.
Instead of watching games for free on their local stations, viewers are navigating a maze of streaming apps and exclusive deals. The result? More confusion, higher costs and a diminished fan experience.
Consumers are frustrated, and they are speaking out. They are tired of juggling multiple subscriptions just to catch a game. Tired of guessing which app has the action. Tired of not being able to flip between matchups like they could on their local channels.
We hear them loud and clear.
Sports unite us. We should not make it more complicated or expensive for fans to watch. And we should not let digital gatekeepers, like Amazon and Netflix, decide who gets access based on what they can afford.
Local broadcast TV is still the most inclusive and widely accessible way for fans to enjoy live sports. It is free. It is reliable. And it reaches every community.
That is why Americans are calling on Washington to act. We must ensure that sports remain available to all, not hidden behind paywalls or locked away in exclusive streaming deals.
Join the movement. Tell Washington: Keep sports on local TV.
