Message: [QUOTE="Slasher, post: 4730241, member: 4452"] Disney's problems have little to do with ESPN. Yes revenue is declining but it is still profitable. Disney+ is what is killing them, their content creation is way too expensive for the return which is why they are slashing a ton of shows including marvel and others. Once the ESPN channels go DTC that will start replacing some of the revenue lost from subscriber fees from cable. Still if you look at the financials, subscriber fees are only about 30% of their revenues with roughly 600MM with more than 2B in ad revenue. ESPN is making <$10 per subscriber on cable. They certainly could price a DTC product for more than $10 per user per month. ESPN has very little risk of "dying" by 2027 as some are claiming here. [/QUOTE]
