ESPN Loses 7M Cable Customers

[Chin Diesel]

This bit of information has been put in to several threads.

I realize ESPN gets the largest share of anyone's monthly cable bill. I forget the fees but it's substantial ($6-$10 per month per customer range).

Am I correct to assume that Satellite providers and streaming providers still pay for access, but it's at a smaller rate?

Regardless, until ESPN figures out how to recapture that revenue stream, they are somewhat limited as to what sports packages they can bid on for future programming.

I know how they can gain a few back

ESPN is part of the issue with exploding costs to deliver programming to the end user and now they are upset that that are losing customers? They have priced them out of the television market.

ESPN tried to be a monopoly and screwed themselves. There's really no going back now
