They may make a little less money, but at least their content would be on a linear network, and not relegated to the invisible realm of streaming.

This wouldn’t be an open market situation. This is just a reopening of the compensation portion of the contract based on a change in the membership triggered by the contracts composition clause. It’s basically just a contingency clause built into an agreement. It’s not an opportunity for the AAC to bring in other bidders. I’m sure there is some sort of remedy if the two sides can’t reach a satisfactory agreement during the “fair negotiations”—-likely some sort of mediation or formula based adjustment.

That is too bad. I don't think most programs in the AAC are going to enjoy it if some of their meaningful game are relegated to streaming.
