the network is paying an obscene amount of money to air games. Take a look:
NFL: $1.9 billion per year for 10 years. (Total: $15.2 billion)
NBA: $1.4 billion per year for nine years. (Total: $12.6 billion)
MLB: $700 million per year for eight years. (Total $5.6 billion)
College football: $470 million for 12 years: (Total $5.64 billion)
so espn shitcans 100ish regional reporters/analysts? i aint come here to play school but them maths dont really add up. espn saying "fuck reporting" and going all in with #embracedebate?
This just means the low-paid hotties move up to more camera time.
Hannah Storm being put out to pasture - though wood still hit. They axed Sage Steele because she was pulling big jack. Kaylee Hartung will move up the food chain. That's the way of the broadcasting world.
ESPN drove up the costs of sports with their monopoly attempts and made huge errors of judgement in their pricing power. The young generation doesn't want to pay $8-9/month to watch live sports. ESPN killed themselves in the foot.
ESPN will probably now go low budget with their reporting. Record a 30 minute news segment once or twice a day, and repeat each one 5-10 times a day.
Last time I checked virtually no one offers a la carte subscriptions, so unless people are dropping cable altogether based on ESPN's programming, this piece is bullshit.
You can get the ESPN family and other pay TV channels streamed for about $25 per month.
I'm hearing that You also can use your uncles password and stream the Watch ESPN app to your TV for free. It has nothing to do with people turning off due to being disgusted with networks libtardery but it's fact all the same.
That was my point, people are dropping cable for reasons other than hurt feelings.
I might do the same when my Comcast contract is up this summer, but then they raise your internet rates to the point that you don't save any money after subscribing to a new streaming service. I'll likely do it anyway because fuck them. Monopolies are great for consumers.
I just had that conversation with Cox. They dropped my rate significantly, but only to the rate I had in the fall of 2015, which isn't a bargain. The bitch acted like she did a huge favor too.
If you spend any afternoon driving time at all in greater LA, generously including the 951/909, Petros and Money are your best friends.
I've become a big fan of Keyshawn in the AM but his co hosts are horrible. Agree on Petros and Money.
We also get LeBatard on tape delay noon to 3. I still enjoy good AM talk while driving
Yep, Keyshawn has a great PAC-12 rap, second only to petros. George and LZ just get in the way. I have to find lebatard on the internets now since Kspn flipped him out for Keyshawn. I would be more angry and drunk, if possible, without LA am talk radio.

Everything looks like it's becoming "insider" content.
