Bring on a la carte cable for frick's sake.
I don't know why people don't get this but a la carte cable would be far more expensive in the long run.
If you think you are getting channels like ESPN for less than $100+ a month you are dreaming.
shite, a single PPV SEC game against an FCS school used to run upwards of $50. Now take all the sporting events that are on ESPN and recognize that ESPN would not sell you all that content for cheap.

Exactly. A la carte cable may eventually happen, but not for a whole IMO. And that depends on if different networks stop teaming up with each other. If a la carte cable happens, not only can you expect out the arse for things like ESPN, but you can kiss smaller channels goodbye since they won't generate enough revenue to stay on the air.

What information are you basing this on?

ESPN delivers advertising, PPV does not, so that's a terrible comparison.

Why does everyone automatically assume this will happen? In an alacarte model, wouldn't demand dictate the price?

What happens if they start losing revenue because people are unwilling to pay that for ESPN. I'm willing to bet they would lower prices if the subscriber base shrinks too much. Although I would also be willing to bet they stop paying top dollar for sports they cover currently, and we will go back to the days when Getty Oil owned them and we had Australian rules football on all the time.
