ESPN...how you like being ‘mid-major’?
Gee, I remember Senator John McCain backing cable channel choice (a la carte style) and cost reduction many years ago...
We cut our Comcast tv cable last June for two reasons:
1. The NFL backing Kapernick. We stopped watching NFL the season before.
2. The price increases of Comcast for 1 Jan last year and their upcoming one for 1 July last year.
So in June of last year we went to Sling ESP which does not carry any ESPN/ABC/Disney left wing.
The evil Disney left wing empire, which owns ESPN/ABC/Disney, gets zero $’s per month from us.
We are saving well over $100 per month with a fast internet and two phones and excellent tv streaming.
I do Sling and the package to see March Madness forces you to take ESPN. After the final game I immediately switched packages which dumped ESPN. I assume there were many college B.B. fans who did the same.
My exact setup. Also added Kodi. :-)
I was in a bar a couple of months ago and was unavoidably watching them announce their Top 20 Champion teams of the past 20 years...they included a couple of WNBA teams not one person in the bar had ever heard of...smh 😳
And double down on paywall/insider content.
Grampa,
What are you using for your internet?
MFO
People are leaving over the lack of transgenders and liberals on the network. They never criticize Trump’s dangerous tweets so people are leaving. /liberal
Once basketball season ends they force-feed viewers a steady diet of Womens’ College Softball, Womens’ College Soccer, Womens’ College Lacrosse and Womens’ College Field Hockey. Sports which are politically correct (but appeal to 0.02% of the viewing audience).
I thought that CNN dude was fleeing what he'd done to CNN to go to, and finish off ESPN?
I am only good for the college football season. Without that, I would never watch any ESPN. And that’s for only a few games per year.
Well, no.
Fox paid NFL Network some amount. You need to include that in the switch.
You mean Jeff Zucker? Pitaro was President of another division at Disney and was chosen to replace the disgraced John Skipper.
Two Words
March Madness
Nelson Muntz,our nation turns its lonely eyes to you.
Maybe it was a trial balloon by Zucker's agent that obviously went nowhere.
New morning show “GET UP” is unwatchable.
Some people have Roku and there are “ways” to get certain sports on ESPN without subscribing (so I’ve been told).
