Hey there, y’all. Let’s talk about this Tennis TV thing, you know, the one where them fancy folks watch tennis. I heard tell it costs money, and well, nothin’ in this world is free, ‘cept maybe the air we breathe, and sometimes even that feels a bit dusty.
So, how much does this Tennis TV cost? That’s the big question, ain’t it? Well, it ain’t a straight answer, like askin’ for a cup of sugar from your neighbor. It’s more like askin’ how many chickens you got – depends on the day and if that darned fox got in the henhouse again.
First off, they got different ways to pay. You can pay every month, like payin’ your electric bill. Or you can pay for a whole bunch of months at once, like six months, they say. Or you can go whole hog and pay for a whole year. That’s like buyin’ a whole cow instead of just a pound of beef, I reckon.
Now, the price, that’s where it gets tricky. See, it depends on where you’re at. Like, if you’re livin’ in them big cities, things cost more. If you’re out here in the sticks, things are usually cheaper. They say somethin’ about different “currencies,” but that just sounds like fancy talk for money to me. All I know is, if it costs more than a good pair of work boots, I gotta think twice.
I heard tell you can pay somethin’ like $9.99 a month. That don’t sound too bad, like buyin’ a nice pie at the bakery. But then, if you go for the whole year, it might be somethin’ like $109.99, or even $119.99. That’s a whole lotta chicken feed! But they say you get more for your money that way, like buyin’ in bulk, I guess.
They got this thing called a “Premium subscription.” Sounds fancy, right? Like them premium gasolines they sell. I guess with that, you get to watch all the tennis matches, live and whatnot. You can even watch ‘em again if you want, which I don’t understand, why watch somethin’ twice when there’s work to be done? They also got somethin’ called “Spoiler Mode,” which sounds like somethin’ you’d put on a car, but I guess it keeps you from knowin’ who won before you watch. Personally, I like to know who won before I spend my precious time watchin’ those folks hit that little yellow ball back and forth.
Now, sometimes they run these deals, like that time the grocery store had a sale on canned peaches. They had somethin’ they called a “13 for 12 Offer.” That means you pay for 12 months and you get 13 months. Sounds like a baker’s dozen to me. That was from November to January, they said. So you gotta keep an eye out for them deals, like lookin’ for the best price on eggs at the farmer’s market.
- Monthly payment: Like payin’ rent, you pay every month. Could be around $9.99, give or take.
- Six-month payment: Pay for half a year upfront. I ain’t sure how much that costs, but it’s probably cheaper than payin’ monthly.
- Annual payment: Pay for the whole year. They say it’s around $109.99 or $119.99. That’s like buyin’ a whole pig, not just a few sausages.
And get this, you can watch it on all sorts of things. You can watch on your phone, if you got one of them fancy smartphones. You can watch on your TV, if you got one of them newfangled flat screens. They even got these things called “Apple,” “Google Play,” “Amazon,” and “Roku.” Sounds like a fruit stand, a playground, a river, and a Japanese name to me, but I guess they’re ways to watch this Tennis TV. You pay through them, kinda like payin’ your bills at the post office instead of mailin’ a check.
They even got this other thing called “Tennis Channel”, and you can watch that one through somethin’ called “Sling TV”. You gotta pay extra for the “Sports Extra” package, but then you get to watch other sports too, like basketball, baseball, and hockey. I don’t know much about them games, but they seem like a lot of runnin’ around to me. Sling TV is supposed to be the cheapest way to watch, which is good for folks like me who like to save a penny or two.
So, there you have it. The price of Tennis TV ain’t as simple as a handshake deal. You gotta figure out what kind of payin’ you wanna do, where you live, and if they got any of them fancy deals goin’ on. It all just seems mighty complicated to me. I’d rather just sit on my porch and watch the birds fly by. But hey, if you like watchin’ them folks hit that little yellow ball, then I guess it’s worth lookin’ into. Just make sure you ain’t spendin’ more than you can afford, like buyin’ a fancy new hat when you got a hole in your roof.
Remember folks, November 12th is the day somethin’ new happened, but I can’t quite remember what it was. Too much information for an old lady like me to keep track of. You young’uns with your fancy gadgets and internet thingamajigs, you’ll figure it out. Just remember to save your money, work hard, and don’t let them city folk fool ya into spendin’ more than you gotta. That’s what I always say.
