    I consider myself a hard-core track fan. We live near Eugene and go to almost all the stadium events. Every year we watch every diamond league as a family. I would even consider paying up to $10 or $12 per track meet just to watch. but at $30 a month, flotrack is asking me to pay $20+ per diamond league meet just to be a fan and I don’t think we can do that. It breaks my heart because T&F brings my family together and it’s something we love doing together.

    Looked it up, the DL is an independent organization (based in Switzerland) not owned by World Athletics, but WA is a minor investor. It licenses broadcasting rights to a company called Infront, who sublicenses out the broadcast rights to individual countries/regions. NBC wasn't willing to pony up the $$$ they wanted so Flotrack stepped in and signed a contract for DL rights in the USA. Note that NBC still owns broadcast rights to the Pre Classic, the Olympics, and a bunch of other track meets here in the USA, so Flotrack does not have a stranglehold on USA broadcasting. Still crappy that its a $30/mo subscription to watch those meets. Sorry Flotrack, but I'm not going to pony up the cash.

I wouldn't give NBCUniversal $5.99/mo for Peacock so I'm sure as hell not giving Flotrack $29.99/mo. The annoying thing is this is only in the US and US territories - the very place the sport needs to grow the most. The Diamond League is only select events at each meet. Are they going to sell this as a season package or on a month-to-month basis? Or do they even know? It's very telling this is only in the US markets. Price gouging Americans.

    Track and Field is now "Out Where The Buses Don't Run".
    Bull Riding and beanie bag throwing events are on CBS( a major tv network), no track at all.

    I got rid of my cable service in 2012 and haven't missed it. The cost was too high for what I was actually watching. Streaming services were convenient. You only want to watch a select few things.
    Now these new streaming services are trying to escort us back into cable like prices. I refuse. There isn't $30 worth of content on any channel or service per month.

      @@ajrocks12x -- That is only true if you get them all.
      If you quit cable because there were too many useless channels, then there is no way you subscribe to a bunch of streaming services.
      You have to be savvy.
      Amazon Prime is free if you use Amazon anyway.
      I have an Instacart account and that gave me Peacock for free.
      I have a Spotify account and that gave me Hulu for free for a little while but I quit Spotify and Hulu.
      The only genuine streaming service I opted into was Netflix and Paramount Plus.
      Paramount Plus because there were a lot of CBS shows I liked plus you can watch football on the weekends or March Madness games.
      Netflix because it just has great variety.
      Netflix and Paramount together still come in less than this new streaming service that is getting the Diamond League.

    I really miss Sundays watching wide world of sports. They showed everything. Skiing.track and field, bicycling,skating, etc. At lest we knew some of the major athletes in a lot of disciplines. Cable killed that and now streaming is finishing it off.

    I love track and field its a large part of why I actually have peacock. I also really enjoy professional wrestling so getting all WWE PLEs along with a host of documentaries and other wrestling programming is great. I'm not adding another streaming service to the laundry list of services I already have, especially one that is $30 a month. That's an absolute slap in the face price tag

    I'm totally good with waiting for select races to show up here or on other platforms. The only point in paying $29.99 is to be able to see it in real time and flotrack knows there are enough "desperate" people that will shell it out.

    Someone need to investigate the absolute reason why such a drastic change which will affect the price 6 fold. Could be something nefarious going on between a Diamond League executive and Peacock executive where they are racking in millions for this deal. Such a deal doesn't make sense at all. Who voted and allowing this deal to go through? This whole thing sounds bizarre. Too much of a price hike for this to look legit.
