Pistons, Red Wings, Tigers on Amazon Prime

I miss when the Pistons use to play on antenna TV. Channel 50 UPN and the Tigers and Wings as well. I already have prime but I can’t see myself paying extra to watch any pistons game at this point. Basic cable is even worse at $200+ monthly which is insane to me.

Totally agree. I miss UPN also. I was hoping that local Detroit teams would go back to that, similar to what the Phoenix Suns just did. They put everything back on over-the-air antennae channels to get the younger crowd, who doesn't want cable, interested in sports again. Gutsy move. I guess Detroit decided to nick that and go with what the younger crowd does love - streaming.

It blows my mind how many games are on all the different streaming apps this year. Wall Street loves this because the of the huge attrition rates streaming services have [[signup - binge your show - cancel 30 days later). People will keep paying if the streaming service has sports. I see this as a HUGE win for Amazon Prime. I know it will get my business.
