[QUOTE="3xWVUenginEER, post: 129705561, member: 1476506"] I'm late in on this, but I as others have said several factors are hurting ESPN. 1. ESPN has 4 networks channels but only enough content for 2 at the most. And NOBODY Has TO WATCH ESPN to see highlights or scores anymore. Google makes soortscenter a thing of the past. 2. Fox, CBS, & NBC all have sports networks now. 3. Basic laws of Supply and demand make 1 & 2 big issues. 4. The economy in the US is in the crapper, so cord cutting leaves more room for other alternatives. 5. Technology allows for cord cutting. Cable TV is where newspapers were about 10-15 years back. I don't even read newspapers anymore. It's an archaic form of news. In 15 years will people still watch TV via cable (I went to DirecTV never to go back to cable, will I even be with DirecTV or Dish in 5 years)? 6. I think Sports in General are in a bubble. You had the tech bubble, the housing bubble, and the banking bubble. I think the sports bubble will be the next to burst, especially for espn. Things always change. Montgomery Ward used to the largest dept store chain in the world then replaced by Sears and JC Penney. One is totally gone and the other 2 are on their death beds. ESPN, the world wide leader, may be a Montgomery Ward one day. [/QUOTE]
