re: Sling TV Releases Sports Package - $5 Per Month

My point being that EVERYONE would subscribe directly through ESPN and they wouldn't have to pay a middle man.

They could charge $5 and make more than Sling is paying them.

Some of y'all are so damn dense

your point is incorrect

the only reason ESPN is at $5ish a month on cable is b/c its on all the cable system's basic packages. If they went a la carte it would skyrocket per month b/c they would have to make up for all the lost revenue needed to pay the sports leagues from the millions that wouldn't subscribe to it.

It's a guarantee that by the time you paid for all your individual channels you'd end up paying the same amount for less channels.

ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNews, and SECN alone would easily be upwards of $100 once they were added up.
