Microsoft Ex-CEO Preps Online Streaming Offering

New York Post: Steve Ballmer, the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, has turned down a $60 million-a-year offer for local TV rights and is forging ahead with a plan to start his own over-the-top streaming network. If he follows through on the plan, Ballmer, the former CEO of Microsoft, would be the first owner of a major U.S. sports team to deliver games direct-to-consumer via a web-based service and not through traditional cable or satellite companies.
