In this edition of TV+ Talk, Charlotte Henry and Chuck Joiner explore Apple TV+'s impact on live sports and their recent ventures into sports broadcasting, highlighting their MLB coverage and the 10-year MLS deal. Apple's extra charge for sports channels and its potential impact on streaming services and how Lionel Messi's upcoming participation in the Leagues Cup game will affect subscriptions is discussed. Netflix's entry into the live sports market, and whether it is legitimately interesting or just contrived, and rule changes around the Academy Awards and what they mean for Apple’s Oscar chances for future films finish off the show.
