Twitter NFL Feed Will Only Offer 'Low-Level Streaming': NeuLion
Noting that Twitter's upcoming Thursday night NFL streams will provide a bare-bones experience, NeuLion calls it a sales tool for Game Pass.
Twitter's Thursday Night Football (TNF) games will feature “low-level streaming” that will act as a promotional tool for NFL Game Pass, says Chris Wagner, executive vice president and co-founder of NeuLion.
NeuLion provides the digital backbone to NFL Game Pass in the U.S. and abroad. The $99 per year service includes DVR controls, interactive score graphics, a video-on-demand archive of matches, 30-minute condensed match highlights, and exclusive camera angles. U.S. subscribers can listen to live audio streams of regular season and post-season games, while international subscribers can stream live video.
“Twitter's TNF will be low-level streaming,” says Wagner. “There will be nothing compared to the interactivity of NFL Game Pass where viewers can watch four games at the same time picture-in-picture. It's the difference between a Formula 1 car and a Ford.”
In April, Twitter paid $10 million to broadcast 10 games from the NFL’s regular season, and will include in-game highlights and live pre-game interviews on Periscope.
Four of Twitter's TNF games will be shown on broadcast TV in the U.S. by NBC and CBS, while the remaining six will air on the NFL Network. All ten will live stream outside the U.S. on Game Pass.
