the whole idea of cable television is outdated. there is nothing ESPN can realistically do to change that. they could turn into netflix
this is the next step, IMO. If they offered a monthly subscription service to WatchESPN that was completely free from Cable/Satellite companies, millions would subscribe. I'll go as far as saying that ESPN, and maybe HBO, could completely destroy cable for good if they offered this outside of Cable subscriptions.

There are a ton of people who just want to watch games. A live game subscription service with the collection of games that ESPN has would do awesome. And they wouldn't have to have filler shows eating budget. Just show live sporting events.

yes. that is the next step with someone like ESPN. we will eventually start paying for games on a nightly basis or we will eventually start buying season packages for a single team/league. it is what it is. but we arent going to start seeing ESPN start throwing a shite ton of money into original programming because right now all of their money is tied up into live sports
