Which is fair... if it's an extra cost, which it isn't for a lot of us.
I haven't had traditional cable in over 15 years so I'm not duplicating costs, streaming is literally my first and only option.
And that's the problem with what Sinclair has done... they've played hard ball with all the streaming companies to the point where the only option to stream a Bally RSN is DirecTV, which is an absolute trash fire of an experience. I've used most of the streaming cable options - Hulu, YouTube TV, DirecTV, and something else I'm forgetting - and those first two options aren't a little better than DTV, they're miles better.
So the move to a standalone app is actually a welcome one, at least for me personally (and others who abandoned cable).
