Apple TV+. Great. The $160 a month cable bill isn’t enough, we’re supposed to pay another ten buck for a couple more games? Not gonna happen, but I wish nobody would sign up for it and one less payment option would go away. Just going to be a few more years before you’ve got to pay to watch any game, nothing will be included let alone broadcast over the air.
