In after hours trading mostly. I bet it drops another 5-6 points tomorrow at least.

ESPN is the only reason I am staying with cable service. As soon as ESPN goes full streaming, I'm gone.

And that is why as soon as espn offers standalone streaming, cable and satellite companies will drop espn from their packages.

If all you want is espn you can get it and about 35 other channels with SlingTV for $20 per month.

Once ESPN went all SJW I tuned out. I only watch if it's LSU or the Saints.

We're about 2 years away from completely replacing our 125 buck cable or satellite bills with 20 separate streaming accounts at 9 bucks each.


Plus all the cable companies control the internet. So, they are going to lose on cable fees but charge out the nose for internet.

Already happening. My internet has gone from about $45 to $90 in the past 4 or so years.

Those are Netflix original content. I'm not sure if Disney would even be able to show it without licensing it from Netflix

Looks like orange packaging has ESPN on SlingTV, but can't tell if that includes SEC Network.

That's a $5 add on but gets you ESPNU and a few others too

SlingTV is good and the cheapest if you don't need multiple streams (the one without ESPN has 3 I think). Otherwise PD Vue or Direct TV Now is probably your best bet
