How much will it take to stream every NFL game in 2024? Jul 15, 2024 SEO The 2024 NFL schedule was released in May, and NFL fans have spent time circling dates on their calendars ever since. NFL bettors also paid close attention to the NFL schedule release and have started searching for promotions and bonuses to take advantage of during Week 1. Those interested in finding more about the promos and bonuses can check the review of the BetRivers sportsbook for additional information. If you plan to bet on any big games during the 2024 NFL season, consider where you’ll watch them. The NFL streams games through a variety of streaming services. See how much NFL streaming options will cost in 2024 below. YouTube TV NFL Sunday Ticket has been around for 30 years. It now exists on YouTube TV, and you can get access to it either with or without a YouTube TV subscription. NFL Sunday Ticket without YouTube TV will cost you just $449 for the 2024 NFL season, but we recommend including a YouTube TV subscription since it’ll let you watch NFL coverage on ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, and ESPN. An NFL Sunday Ticket subscription with YouTube TV will cost $786.94 for the 2024 NFL season. Amazon Prime Video Amazon Prime Video has become another must-have NFL stream option for football fans. It’s the home of NFL Thursday Night Football games, and it also now hosts a Black Friday game. It’ll even provide an NFL live stream for a playoff game for the first time in 2024. There’s a chance you might already have Amazon Prime Video included in an Amazon Prime membership. Otherwise, you’ll need to pay $44.95 for Amazon Prime Video for the 2024 NFL season. Peacock Peacock was the only place to watch a playoff game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins in 2023, and it’ll be the only place to watch the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers open up their 2024 season with a Friday game in Brazil. It’ll host about 25 NFL games overall this season. However, you can get away with only paying for Peacock for September to watch the Eagles and Packers play since all its other NFL streams will be aired elsewhere. It’ll cost $7.99 to sign up for Peacock for September. ESPN+ ESPN+ will only have one exclusive NFL game during the 2024 season when the Los Angeles Chargers and Arizona Cardinals play during Week 7. ESPN+ will cost $10.99 for October. Netflix Netflix will become the latest streaming service to offer NFL streams during the 2024 NFL season. It’ll host Christmas Day games between the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers and the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens. It’ll cost $6.99 for a Netflix account for December. In total, it’ll cost approximately $857.86 for each of these NFL streaming services in 2024 or $519.92 if you sign up for just the NFL Sunday Ticket without YouTube TV. It’s a small price to pay to guarantee you can tune in to every NFL game. Related Similar Articles

Opposition questions purpose of NRF Investment Committee as Gov’t plans to withdraw 98% of earnings Jul 15, 2024 News Kaieteur News – Why pay an investment committee, if there are no funds to be invested? This is the conundrum the Opposition is faced with presently, as the Government of Guyana has effected changes to the rules of the Natural Resource Fund (NRF) – the country’s oil account – to allow for 98% of the earnings to be withdrawn this year. Opposition spokesman on Oil and Gas, Elson Low The Investment Committee is essentially a board of seven members – including two specialists without voting powers. This Committee is tasked with advising the Board of Directors on the Investment Mandate, according to the NRF Act of 2021. Each member is remunerated “in respect of their office as the Minister (of Finance) may determine from time to time” according to the NRF Act. The Investment Committee is chaired by Chartered Banker, Ms. Shaleeza Shaw. Other appointees include Executive Director of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), Richard Rambarran, Attorney-at-Law, Michael Munroe, Mr. Lauris Hukumchand and more recently, Mr. Terrence Campbell (Opposition nominee and) and Mr. Ganesh Sugrim. During the 83rd Sitting of the 12th Parliament last Monday at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre, Liliendaal, East Coast Demerara the 2023 Annual Report of the NRF was presented to the National Assembly by Minister with responsibility for Finance and the Public Service, Dr. Ashni Singh. A key highlight of the document was the interest accumulated by the fund in 2023. According to the document seen by this newspaper, “Net return generated by the Fund totaled G$18,105.25 million (US$86.84 million) for the year 2023, a substantial increase of 396% (G$14,455.17 / US$69.33 million) over the previous year’s level on account of higher interest rates on overnight deposits during 2023.” The Natural Resource Fund account is held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. During the Leader of the Opposition’s weekly press conference on Friday, spokesperson on oil and gas, Elson Low questioned the role of the NRF Investment Committee since he pointed out that the stage has been set for 98% of the earnings to be withdrawn by government, leaving a meagre sum for possible investments or savings. He explained, “While we are seeing reports come out of the NRF, the real devil is in the details in a sense because we have a government which has of course changed the rules of the NRF (Act) so that a vast majority of resources – 98% of resources can be withdrawn.” Low added, “That is alarming and it means that we are not going to have a substantial NRF for the next several years at least unless of course they come and change the rules again and make it even easier for them to access more funds.” The economist observed that the Opposition’s nominee for the Investment Committee was only recently appointed by government, some one year after the candidate was proposed. To this end, Low said this “is to us an indication that they are fully well aware that they are going to use all the funds that are in the NRF and if you are going to use all the funds why have an investment committee in the first place?” The economist was keen to note that the NRF accumulated US$86M in interest last year, a “substantial sum” which the Opposition believes could have been used to pay increases to public servants. Contrary to that however, Low said “we are going to see the plundering of the sovereign wealth fund… the government has been hesitant to speak at all about the interest because they intend to empty that sovereign wealth fund and if we are going to empty the sovereign wealth fund then you not gonna want to talk about the interest that is earned if you leave some of the money there.” The new formula approved in February this year stipulates 100% withdrawal of the first US$1 billion received last year, 95% of the second US$1 billion, 90% of the third US$1 billion, 85% of the fourth US$1 billion, 50% of the fifth US$1 billion, and 10% of amounts over US$5 billion can be withdrawn. According to the 2023 NRF Annual Report, the Fund up to the end of 2023 received deposits to the tune of US$1.9B, of which a total of US$1.6B was withdrawn. According to the document, at the end of 2023, the Fund’s total deposits since the first oil payment on March 11, 2020, amounted to US$1,868,994,023.55. At the same time, it was reported that total withdrawals by the government totaled US$1,609,776,819 at the end of December 2023. Related Similar Articles

Prime suspect in custody for murder of Venezuelan woman Jul 15, 2024 News – Believed to be taxi driver involved in kidnapping, shooting of another Kaieteur News – Investigators on Sunday told Kaieteur News that the prime suspect in custody for the murder of Evelyn Alfonzo Alves also known as Fabiana Betancourt is believed to be the trusted taxi driver involved in the alleged kidnapping, robbing and attempted murder of another Venezuelan woman, Diana Danello, three months ago. Murdered: Evelyn Alfonzo Alves Alves was found shot dead aback of Diamond, East Bank Demerara (EBD) on the morning of Sunday July 7.  A few days after the news of her murder made headlines, Danello came forward publicly with her story. Danello had said that she could have suffered the same fate during a rainy night on April 10 after a taxi driver based at a popular city hotel allegedly kidnapped, robbed, shot and left her for dead aback of Diamond too. The bullet from that night’s incident is still lodged in her body. An x-ray showed that it is in a region close to her spine. Danello is alleging that she had chosen to flee Guyana after detectives did not show much interest in her case after providing them with what she deemed sufficient information to arrest the suspect. With the taxi driver still at large, Danello claimed that she did not stick around because she was fearful that the suspect could return to kill her. The bullet still lodged in Diana Danello’s back Investigators in response to her claims said that she left Guyana after she was discharged from the hospital, thereby stalling investigations. “She recently told detectives that she would return to Guyana to follow up with her case”, investigators told Kaieteur News on Saturday. In an update on Sunday, investigators did not disclose why they believe that the man in custody for Alves might be involved in Danello’s case too. They did however confirm with Kaieteur that the suspect in Alves case is also a taxi driver. Initial reports by Kaieteur News on Alves’ murder had revealed that she was last seen alive around 21:00hrs on Saturday July 6.  Relatives said that she was having a few drinks with her them when she received a call and left in a white car, a taxi that she regularly uses. Relatives further disclosed that Alves last made contact with a family member around 00:00 hrs. She reportedly told a family member that she was with her Guyanese boyfriend whom she has been dating for some time and did not seem in any distress but she never made it back. Early the following morning, her body was discovered lying face down in a pool of blood along a road in the New Diamond Housing Scheme. There was a gunshot wound to the back of her head and her cell phone was found next to her body. Police also recovered a 9MM spent-shell from the scene. It did not take long for them to arrest the prime suspect. A few days later, Kaieteur News reported Danello’s story and asked her to recount the horror that she miraculously survived. Danello said that on that night she had planned to party so she stacked on cash and left her home. Her first stop was at the popular hotel for dinner.  She then left the hotel in the taxi driver’s SUV. She told Kaieteur News that it was not the first time she travelled with the taxi driver because she frequents the hotel. “He was always neatly dressed and acted in a professional manner (translated from Spanish),” the woman said while relating that, she trusted the taxi base at the hotel because it was like an executive service. On April 10, however, the taxi driver reportedly turned into a monster. Instead of taking her to her destination, he locked the woman in and drove her at gunpoint to a lonely area aback of Diamond and turned off his car lights. Upon their arrival there, he reportedly held her at gunpoint and demanded that she hand over her purse and other valuables. Danello claimed that she had told him to take what he wants but spare her life. He took the purse which had her house keys, the cash, her ID card and some other documents along with her phone but according to the woman, it seemed as if he had no intention of letting her leave alive because he tried shooting her to the head. “El trata de dispararme, para matarme verdad, o sea, el me disparo verdad como dos tres cuatro veces con la pistola pero no salio nada la pistola hizo (imitates the sound the gun made) (He tried to shoot me to kill me right … he tried to shoot like two, three, four times but nothing came out, the gun made (imitates the sound that the gun made)”, she told Kaieteur News. It could be that the gun had jammed but the woman said that she believed at the time that it did not have any bullets. Instead of letting her go, the suspect tried to strangle her with a belt. “El agarro y quito la correa y me intento ahorcar y bueno dios me dio fuerza y pelee con el, le di unas patadas en las bolas (He held me and took off his belt and tried to strangle me but God gave me strength and I fought with him, I give him some kicks in the balls,” she recounted). While she fought for her life, she also received some blows to her body. The most painful she said was to her breasts because a surgery was performed on them. During the fight for survival, the taxi driver reportedly lost a chain which he was wearing and for a few seconds, let go of her to look for it. She recalled that he asked her where the chain was and it was that moment that she was able to escape his grip and exited the car into the pouring rain. She recounted running a short distance away when the taxi driver told her that he was going to kill her because she knows his face and where he works. It was at this point that man reportedly drew his gun again and shot at her. This time the gun went off and she ran for her life. She claimed that at the time, she did not know she was hit but it occurred to her that she might be unable to escape him. “Yo me tire pa el monte (I threw myself in some bushes),” the Venezuelan woman said as she recalled seeing the taxi driver exiting the SUV with a torchlight and searching around the area. She reportedly remained still in the bushes until he re-entered the vehicle and left. She then got up and walked in the pouring rain until she met a man selling at a small stand along the road. There she asked for help but the man said he had no cell phone to give her a call but advised her to wait until the rain was over for him to take her to a hospital. Fearful that he too might harm her, she continued to walk in the rain. Cars passed by, she said, but she was reluctant to accept any help from the drivers. One man, however, stopped and identified himself as a policeman. “Y me llevo a la (Diamond) police station (and he carried me to the police station)”. She said that when she arrived there, she realized that the attempt on her life took place in close proximity to the police station. After seeing her condition, she was advised to go to a hospital. The policeman who picked her up took her to the closest hospital and she was admitted. There she learnt that a bullet entered one of her arms and was lodged in her back. Doctors were unable to remove the warhead. She had also sustained a fractured rib from the blows she received. Detectives subsequently took a statement from her. Related Similar Articles
