The Dan Le Batard Show Gets Picked Up By Max Streaming
Max Streaming which is formerly known as HBO Max picked up the “Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz,” according to Jon Ourand of The Sports Business Journal. If you have kept up with the blogs in the past, Dan Le Batard has been mentioned here multiple times.
The show is set to debut on Monday, Nov. 27, and will be shown on weekdays for one hour. This show will be a part of the recently launched Bleacher Report sports tier. As of now, Max subscribers will be able to view the Bleacher Report sports tier for free but that will change in March of next year. Viewers will have to pay $9.99 per month for the extension.
This signing is a bit ironic as Le Batard had publically stated that he didn’t like what Max Streaming had become.
“I’ve been bummed by what HBO Max, or now Max has become where Discovery’s just dumping all of its crap into what used to be this pristine bin of quality content,” Le Batard said.
Ironically, Le Batard will now be adding to the problem that he was complaining about. His show is filled with bias and bad takes. It doesn’t make much sense that he now has a deal with Draft Kings and Max Streaming.
Do whatever you want, but paying $9.99 just to view this show would be a mistake. Le Batard even mentioned in the past that his show had regressed and the fans took notice.

Le Batard makes millions of dollars per year and people no one knows why. This show will need to make some serious changes if they don’t want it to become a total flop.
