Great find!
They (presumably ION) made a new domain name just for ION WNBA games!?

| I think that Twitter and Facebook may have some exclusivity deal, as well.

So basically LP is just a DVR service.

Thanks for all of the info. It's helped me understand a lot.

LP always has been a DVR service. Since you pay for the subscription (or get a code from your team), you don't have to program it. It's cheap in comparison to other streaming services - you're just limited to WNBA programming.
Previously, you could only watch the current year. But during the pandemic, they added the ability to watch games dating back to the 2015 season. Then they also increased the price. The video quality has improved. I think they had the fast forward/rewind option before, but it's gone. And you can only slow down a video - not speed it up as you can with YTTV.
It's unfortunate that fewer games are now live with the multitude of local and national contracts. But you have the option of going back to watch whenever. For the current year, you find games under "Run It Back". There are also 10-minute recaps of game highlights and other features.
YTTV you can just program it to record all WNBA games; you don't know which feed you are going to get until you watch! Other league shows have to be programmed separately (e.g., pre-game shows and All Star Weekend contests). The DVR stores all your (unlimited) items for 9 months; no download option.

If you only care about your local team, League Pass is probably a waste of money. LP is for the benefit of people who like to watch multiple games a night and/or follow a team that is outside of their local market. For as many games that are classified as "national" games for the purposes of availability, there are still a significant number of WNBA games that would otherwise only be available on an RSN.
That being said, if you're a fan of one of the two "superteams," you probably wasted your money on League Pass, because those games are going to be all over the national schedule. Like, you know who LP is really worth the money for? Fever fans who don't live in Indiana, Wings fans who don't live in Texas, Dream fans who don't live in Georgia, Sparks fans who don't live in Southern California. If you're, say, an Aces fan, and you paid for League Pass, but you don't care about any other team, you might as well have lit your 25 bucks on fire, because LP is only going to let you see, like, five games the rest of the year, that you wouldn't have been able to see otherwise.
Ironically, LP is of the greatest benefit to someone who doesn't have a team, but rather just likes to watch as many games as they can. Like, say, your favorite Hater.
