I mean, fans in Miami and Kansas City can watch the game on regular TV. SHAPIRO: You say if there are out-of-town fans. I don't think they're very happy about it, but they definitely will sign up. So if there are out-of-town fans from Miami and Kansas City, they're definitely going to sign up. There's just something about our sports teams that we can't live without. And second of all, there's really no other choice. SIEGEL: They are not happy, first of all. What have you heard from fans? Are they actually planning to sign up just for this game? SHAPIRO: The Ringer reported that NBC Universal paid $110 million for just this one game, presumably hoping to get a bunch of people to pay for new Peacock subscriptions. But if this one does well ratings-wise, I definitely think it will be done again. I'm not sure how many games or how many playoff games they will put on streaming. SIEGEL: I definitely think this is the future. Do you think they're testing the waters for putting more playoff games behind the streaming services wall? Or is this likely to be a one-off? The NFL has shown regular season games on streaming services before, but this is a first for a playoff game. SHAPIRO: I'm good - bit of a delay on your line, but we'll barrel through it. Alan Siegel has been reporting on this for The Ringer. SHAPIRO: Like the ad says, first time ever - game will be streaming only on Peacock. Now, for the first time ever, a playoff game will stream only on Peacock. UNIDENTIFIED PERSON: Super Wild Card Weekend, where history is made. But outside of those cities, fans won't be able to watch the game on TV for free. The Miami Dolphins play the Kansas City Chiefs tomorrow in a wild card playoff game.
