“What I can tell you is that we’re making a lot of progress. We will have more streaming options next year.”
Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith visits with reporters, during the Utah Jazz Media Day, on Monday, Sept. 26, 2022.Will there be an easier way for Utah Jazz fans to watch games in the near future?hopes so — and now there’s a competing team with a forward-looking streaming product for the team to emulate.
The product — ClipperVision, it’s called — is a first for the NBA, and the team says it is planning on streaming more than 70 games live in-market this coming season. The product costs $199 per season, or the equivalent of just under $17 per month, though Clipper fans can buy it at a preseason rate of $100 for the next two days.
But Smith seemed to slow the idea of the Jazz getting a Clippers-esque solution too. Clippers owner Steve “Ballmer’s been trying to do this, I think, since I got in the league,” Smith said. “What you have in the NBA specifically is you probably have about 16 Sinclair RSNs , and then you’ve got Bally’s, and then a hodgepodge of others. And I think that everyone’s kind of got a unique thing.”
”I think long term where this goes, we’re looking at it from a fan experience standpoint and saying, ‘Hey, look, there’s a huge contingency of our fan base — not as many as want cable — but want a better experience and I think we should get a better experience,’” Smith said.
