Decent Washington Post article that notes that though things are changing, ESPN is better positioned then anyone else to survive cable cutting.
I found this quote interesting though:
The biggest threat to ESPN, and its competitors, is a scenario develops in which sports leagues can make more money televising their games themselves than they do now selling their television rights to the highest bidder. That day could come, analysts think, but not this decade.
If ESPN agrees that private networks are their biggest risk, how does that influence their thoughts regarding the ACCN and their current negotiation with the B1G?
