Today
No local Celtics game is free today. About 291,500 households would pay for NBC Sports Boston on Peacock if 6% sign up.
A household has no way to watch if it has no antenna signal and no broadband subscription at home. That count comes from FCC and Census data, so the sliders do not change it.

The best value in each row is bold. For friction, lower is better. Today's revenue is blank because there is no public count of NBC Sports Boston on Peacock subscriptions to base it on.
Friction is what it takes this household to watch every game. It counts the services it needs, what they cost and the steps to set them up, so lower is better.
