The subscriptions and revenues for ESPN are plummeting at an increasingly fast rate, as the network has replaced its sports coverage with leftist propaganda.
Analyst Rich Greenfield recently looked at Disney and ESPNs reports and found very troubling numbers for the sport network and its parent company.
ESPNs loss in subscribers is also shocking for its size. The loss of subscribers continues and is down another six percent year-over-year.
So far, this years subscriber loss has accelerated over past years. The sports network was down 4.5 percent in the first quarter, off 5.5 percent in the second quarter, and down a whopping 6 percent in the third quarter.
Indeed, the six percent decline ESPN saw in the third quarter this year is just part of the declines suffered in every quarter at since the third quarter of 2016.
Industry analyst Rich Greenfield posted the numbers.
Greenfield also found that average revenue per user (ARPU) for the Disney+ offering of ESPN+ is down 22 percent over last years numbers.
Greenfield added that ESPN+ ARPU numbers fell to $4.18 from $5.33 last year.
ESPNs ratings have also been crashing and burning. In July, for instance, ESPN saw its lowest ratings in the networks 41-year history as WokeCenter on steroids takes over.

Unfortunately the PGA Championship Golf Game is on ESPN. I will be tuning into it reluctantly.
The PGA.com is also using FubarTV (Streaming Channel) in addition to ESPN.
Not sure if PGA.com have their own announcers, though but worth the time to check out.
FubarTV has a 7-day free trial: https://www.fubo.tv/welcome
Going the way of A&E with “Live PD”: get rid of what the viewers want, then act surprised when the viewers find other things to do.
Who the hell can stand to watch espn?
They are nothing but a bunch of nauseating pu$$ies.
Will never forget mark brunell boo hooing over that farce deflategate.
“The only thing I watch ESPN for is college football.”
Same here.
Hopefully they will get away from Sports entirely and concentrate on Woke Justice. They could pay Kapernick 50 million a year and fire all of the other overpaid commentators, especially former athletes.
ESPN covers A LOT of college lacrosse games in the late winter thru spring.
I only watch live college football. That’s a major reason their ratings haven’t fallen further.
I was done with ESPN in 2003 when they fired Rush Limbaugh for daring to criticize Donovan McNab.
Hey espn....you had the proverbial goose that laid the golden egg. You had one job: report on and show sports!
And you blew it.
It's what happens when you hire a bunch of dukies.
would watch certain games last year....but when they went woke....nope.
“ESPN is done along with cable and some dish satellite subscriptions”
You can get (free) every broadcast game of most any sport via streaming. It maybe choppy and you have to dodge some shady potential software downloads but it is out there. Mostly Euro based websites.
Thanks for the chart. ESPN has lost customers since 2016. Why? Because ESPN is repulsive, like the football player Kapernich, the baseball player Betts, the cyclist Armstrong and the the candidate H. Clinton. Sad. ESPN was very cool ten years ago. Thankfully, Fox Sports saw a market and beats ESPN.
Those College Wokesters are making demands as well. At least PAC-12 Players are. Funny as the PAC-12 is fast on the way to becoming a non entity at the major College level at least in Football.
ESPN Ruined College Football.
“Hey espn....you had the proverbial goose that laid the golden egg. You had one job: report on and show sports!”
Three words...Queers at Disney.
My phone and internet is part of my cable package. Plus I enjoy some cable channels but have banned the viewing of others. If I, along with millions of others stop watching ESPN and other offensive channels it will register as such and remove their sponsors. Not going to throw out the baby with the bath water.
If you pay a cable or satellite tv bill, you’re paying ESPN.
Actually if you have cable but do not watch a station it matters not.
