Amazon (AMZN) to earn around $76 billion in over 11 years, according to a report
by the Wall Street Journal.

NBC is nearing a deal to pay an average of $2.5 billion a year to show around
100 games per season on every Tuesday and Sunday, whereas Amazon is offering
$1.8 billion package a year to broadcast regular-season and playoff games, the
