Subscribers to virtual MVPDs such as Sling TV, DirecTV Now and PlayStation Vue were surprised (and angry) to learn that they were blacked out from viewing the live stream of NBC’s coverage of the Golden Globes.
Among them, Sling TV used Twitter to tell upset subs that a rights issue prevented the OTT service from distributing the live stream of the annual awards show.
Update: NBC confirmed that it does not have (and has never had) the streaming rights for the Golden Globes, but that it is something the network is actively working on and hopes to have in the near future.
