NASCAR is replacing canceled races with esports featuring pro drivers

[ad_1] Familiar Fox broadcasters like Jeff Gordon will commentate on the 90-minute race programs. And before you’re wondering: no, this isn’t another giant opportunity for the novel coronavirus to spread. Fox said it was “following CDC guidelines” to make sure the production is safe. The first event takes place on March 22nd at 1:30PM Eastern […]

LG’s 48-inch gaming OLED TV arrives in June for $1,499

[ad_1] You’ll unsurprisingly have to pay more for the larger sets, but you might not have to be as patient. If you absolutely want a set this month, the 55-inch CX set will be available for $1,799. Its 65-inch ($2,799) and 77-inch ($4,999) counterparts arrive in April and May respectively. If you’d prefer the slightly […]

Broadcom lawsuit blames your Netflix habit for a drop in chip sales

[ad_1] Netflix has declined to comment. Broadcom said it alerted Netflix to the alleged violations in September, but that the internet service had turned down attempts to negotiate a patent license. The lawsuit might not go Broadcom’s way. The chip producer sued a string of TV makers in 2017 for supposed patent violations, but Vizio […]

NCAA March Madness games will be played without fans

[ad_1] The Association didn’t say how this would affect ticket holders, but pointed to “behavioral risk mitigation” (read: keeping people out of contact) and the risk to older adults as key factors behind the decision. It won’t be surprising if other leagues follow suit, especially if the outbreak persists long enough to affect sports that […]

Netflix will end ‘Lost in Space’ with a third season in 2021

[ad_1] It’s also not the end for Estrin’s work with Netflix. On top of the renewal, he has signed a “multi-year” deal to create more Netflix exclusives. Estrin didn’t hint at what those shows might entail. Lost in Space hasn’t been a critical darling for Netflix. With some exceptions, its average responses on Metacritic and […]

ESPN+ will be the home of PGA Tour’s streaming service in 2022

[ad_1] You might end up paying less to stream live golf tourneys in the future. As part of a larger media deal, PGA Tour Live will be included as part of the ESPN+ base package starting in 2022 — it’ll be the only place you can use it in the US, in fact. The service […]

YouTube TV to drop Fox regional sports channels following Sinclair dispute

[ad_1] Like with many carriage disputes, though, there’s plenty of he-said-she-said squabbling where both sides portray the other as the villain. YES Network was “not optimistic” it would reach a deal by a February 28th cutoff despite “efforts to negotiate,” and characterized this as a loss that would deprive fans of the Brooklyn Nets’ remaining […]
