GOP senator calls for revision to federal law as sports fans pay big on outrageous streaming prices

In response to the rising costs associated with streaming sports, the Senate Judiciary Committee is advocating for changes to the 1961 Sports Broadcasting Act. This act originally allowed sports leagues to sell their media rights collectively, which benefited fans by making games available on free television, but the shift to streaming services has led to increasing paywalls and dissatisfaction among viewers.
