Warner Bros. Discovery CEO talks about the decision to put NBA and other sports on the platform

The news about a new platform where many major sports leagues will be available for streaming is huge for fans across the country. Not only are they going to save money, but they'll have other options whenever their favorite NBA team isn't currently playing.

JB Perrette, CEO for global streaming and games at Warner Bros. Discovery talked about their decision to make this possible.:

"Part of our thinking about setting the $9.99 monthly price and an upcharge to it, is we don’t think the way that it’s currently being done in streaming where most of the other streamers are just giving away the content for free is viable for the long term, No. 1, and No. 2 it disadvantages and almost incentivizes the switch (from pay TV to streaming), which is not something that we’re necessarily looking to do.
"If we’re gonna do this, let’s do it in a way that is very much a compelling proposition to viewers. So, we purposely decided we’re going to give consumers the same choice in terms of the live games, but you don’t have to sacrifice pay TV to go watch on Max, or vice versa."

The streaming platform will reportedly be streaming over 300 games each year. That doesn't include other content that won't take place in the game.
