ESPN has been hemorrhaging subscribers for some time now as a result of cord-cutting, which hurts them much more than other networks given that they charge vastly higher carriage fees.
I didnt cut the cord b/c of ESPN. I did b/c of the 200 other channels. If ESPN offered a base package for streaming, and added packages for something like the sec, or big 10 or acc, I'd subscribe to that.
And if a cable company would offer just a sports package that would be locals, ESPN, fox sports, NBC, the nfl/nba/mlb/golf channels, Turner sports, I'd subscribe to that.
