Good news! ESPN is hemorrhaging viewers -- (link)

ESPN was entirely to blame for an 11% drop in the company's cable operating income to $864 million. Other cable networks were flat. (www.marketwatch.com)

I know, let's have more talking heads arguing and yelling at each other! All Stephen A all the time!! -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 10:11
could not even tell you the last time I turned on ESPN - groiny Feb 15, 10:10 7
- I watch PTI most days and college basketball. I hate Sportscenter and would love for another network - Krusty Feb 15, 10:17 3
  - since MLB Network came along, I punted ESPN, because frankly, MLB Network is much better about what I care about. -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 10:21 2
    - NFLN's combine and draft coverage for the next few months is great. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 15, 10:41
    - Yeah, I watch MLB daily during the season. ESPN dropped the ball years ago on highlights. -- nm - Krusty Feb 15, 10:30
- I watch it at the gym when it's on the big TV's just for background, or if a team I root for is playing live. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 15, 10:15
- I watch/dvr ESPNFC every day, but that's it. An occasional game here or there. PTI sometimes. -- nm - volnelk Feb 15, 10:12 1
  - problem for me there, is that their "experts" for the most part, I don't think are all that expert. - groiny Feb 15, 10:13
i forget where i was reading it, but just to cover their licensing costs from various leagues, they have to keep a crazy high number of subscribers. - colin Feb 15, 10:06
They'll demand $40 per subscriber from the cable companies now, rather than $20. -- nm - Mop Feb 15, 10:06
"They could show NFL every night with Erin Andrews commenting in a bikini - and they'd still be losing viewers." -- nm - Strongbad Feb 15, 10:02 2
- "Jemele, can I run an idea past..." "Keep walking." -- nm - Reagen Feb 15, 10:11
- They had Nick Viall from The Bachelor on last night for some reason. -- nm - znufrii Feb 15, 10:05
