Except for NFL Draft no reason to watch ESPN until college football kicks off in August.

Pretty much. I only watch the games. I can’t listen to the talking heads on there.

This is pretty much true.

Cable TV is really only a necessity for college football.

You can cut the cord 7 months a year and get a package from the NHL, NBA, MLB and not miss cable if you’re a cord cutting sports fan.

ESPN should hire Bob Costas! Yeah, let’s get this over with.

Am proud to say that I was among the 422,000 last month.

"Monday Breitbart News reported that TV viewers are dropping cable subscriptions in droves for cheaper internet platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon, posing an existential threat to ESPN."

So, wouldn't this threat extend to all cable stations and the cable companies themselves. Not just ESPN?

Unfortunately, Mrs. POF will be the last viewer they switch off when they finally turn out the lights.

I can’t deal with all this winning and the spin offs.

ESPN, lost a stunning 422,000 viewing homes between February and March 2017

422,000 lost viewers x $8 dollars per month per viewing home = a loss of $3,376,000 per month going forward.

Drop kicking ESPiN out of our homes is another win for fed up Americans.

Keep politics out of sports. Problem solved.
Politics, LGBT and other activism have plenty of forums, there is no need to infest everything else with the opinions and lectures of the day.

Unless of course the owners, sponsors and players are OK with losing half their audience.

Plenty of other channels taking a hit as well since they are bundled. They are just not getting the press.

I’m gonna go that way also. Don’t watch that collection of clowns and don’t want to pay their salaries.

So much time spent analyzing replays that the actual game is going on and secondly those yakky sideline reporters asking their lame questions “So coach what do you have to do next half to even the score?” and the coach replies “score more points”

That’s terrible. The number should be larger.

I can't wait until ESPN goes bankrupt. I'm stuck paying for it because my wife refuses to give up her cable. If cable went to a cafeteria plan, I'd dump ESPN in a heartbeat.

Haven’t turned it on in quite a while, but may in April as they have the first couple of rounds of The Masters.

Last night I was sitting in a local watering hole and one of the TV’s had one of the ESPN channels on. 2 individuals were discussing some singer’s pregnant photo tweet, which was apparently a copy of some other singer’s pregnant photo tweet. What this has to do with sports I do not know.

Gee, I wonder why they’re losing viewers?

Unexpected!

I was so sure that being disrespectful to a flag revered by most of their viewers would increase profits. Between being insulted and watching the rude but overpaid prima-donna get crushed in almost every game, I'm not sure how ESPN ended up with fewer viewers.

Just dished my Dish last week and could not be happier.

40+ digital over the air channels
hulu
netflix
Andriod smart TV which allows me to add any online content

I’m able to stream Fox news live via You Tube on the smart TV’s. And it works like a champ.

Anyone know how the free Fox News stream works over You Tube? I thought that FOX, CNN etc were channels that had to be purchased via a service provider?

ESPN...got your message yet? No one wants to hear your commie directed talking points from your globalist masters. You can shove that “mid-major” term too.
