So I never watched ESPN or NFL football or NBA basketball. Too busy and just not interested.
But I recently closed my DirectTV account and bought a Roku stick to stream TV shows off the internet. Netflix, Hulu. Dropped my monthly TV bill by about $175 month.
Cable and satellite cutting by the public is going to change the industry.
When people have other options that are cheaper with more flexibility in what to watch and when, human nature will win out.
I suspect most of ESPN's subscriber losses have to do with their insistence on inserting liberal political positions into their programming than this bogus tax-season-just cutting-back-on-our-budget claim.
Well, at least ESPN has that new smash hit program Get Up with Mike Greenberg, Jalen Rose and Michelle Beadle that brings in almost 230,00 viewers for a mere 15 million in salaries and a new 10 million dollar (at least) new studio in New York.
NOTE: This is less than half of what Peppa Pig, which is on at the same time, has in viewers.
It’s funny how all the “reporting” on this focuses on ESPN, like they’re not in the basic bundle of every single cable company in the country. CABLE lost 500,000 subscribers. That means ESPN, and FoxNews, and every other channel lost potential viewers and actual revenue.
To fix this they need to raise prices and pay the Disney CEO more 10’s of millions. Oh and make sure all the players support killing cops and show hatred of America and support mass murderers Castro and Che.
Left wing garbage, can’t watch it any longer.
