[QUOTE="WesterveltVictoryCigar, post: 1281276, member: 3734"] It's not going to make up for the loss of revenue from dwindling cable subs. As per the section I quoted, ESPN is getting $7 from all subscribers and right now is having significant financial problems. They've been laying off employees and jettisoning a lot of their higher priced talent to save money. They'll get some money back via these services, but again nowhere near the revenue they've been getting. This is part of an interesting transition to how we get our content. Just like how Netflix has gone from delivering other people's programs to generating their own content. It should allow us all to be able to have better choices in the long run but it remains to be seen if the costs really go down. I'd sign up for any of these but right now they wouldn't really save me any money. [/QUOTE]
