At least they’re politically correct. LOL!!!
Why bother with cable and satellite when there is Hulu Plus
and Amazon Prime.
Absolutely! Clearly they’ve lost viewership because they aren’t far enough left and are not strident enough pushing their agenda down the viewers’ throats!
Normally I NEVER watch ESPN.
Unfortunately they now are the new providers of Formula 1 coverage.
On a lighter note the races have been recorded on the DVR in the wee hours of the morning and said races have been televised without commercials (at least in my area). No commercials, seemingly no revenue...
ESPN, the Extreme Socialist Propaganda Network, is unwatchable in all its incarnations.
LOL! Every April 15th brings a discussion of one's cable bill!!! The Agenda keeps them from discussing reality.
I still like sports, but won't pay extra to the espn creeps....and watching baseball and golf is just boring to me...and not really into the nba at all...
Every time I see one of these articles, it always singles out ESPN as losing viewers. Wouldn’t that be indicative of all cable subscribers, and not specifically ESPN. I buy a cable package, and ESPN is part of that package. I can’t choose to exclude ESPN from my package, though I would, as it’s wholly unwatchable these days.
That’s the perfect name for them.
More left wing propaganda is needed to improve ratings.
If you go out in red-states....you can find rural Democrats who did watch college and pro-football. But even those folks are fed up with politicized sport news.
You have to wonder six to eight years ago, when they started this agenda, if there was a gameplan or just some speech that you could go that far.
Just looking at the numbers...I would say that ESPN probably has at best six months to clean up the mess, or get bought out with pennies on the dollar.
April is a horrible month for us...our house insurance, two car insurancs, and property tax, which went up $600 this year....all due in April...thank God we got a refund on our income taxes..
And that’s not counting the monthly drain of the longhorn network. A long term contract they are stuck with.
Could ESPN be included as part of a sports tier that is optional for some cable subscribers?
Same here.
I do miss David Hobbs, Steve Matchett & Leigh Diffey.
I get ESPN on Youtube TV. I don’t watch it though. When football season starts that’s different. How does one get rid of it when it’s part of a package, like Al Gore’s? Lol.

My wife and I were discussing this last night. NASCAR is the only sport I follow. Since I’ve never had cable, I end up missing over half the races because NASCAR’s broadcast contract has them on FS1 and NBCSN. With so many cutting cable I wonder how that affects their revenue.
Viewership is really down. How much is loss of interest. Vs loss of cable subscribers?
