    Certain (smaller) stations do it because it does make them money (not necessarily a profit, but you have to fill programming somehow). Someone like ESPN? Nah, they have enough programming, so eff it. I can't blame them, as much as I want to.
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

      And how ESPN treats the regional channels will be the interesting part. There's no reason the channels should be anything other than regional channels. Which *should* mean they get to keep showing the same stuff. But we will see in a year or so- when we know this deal is going through.

        End of the day they are subscription based and generate revenue. So that's what drives the bus

            So *THAT* is the high cost item that is costing them money.

            Remember kids, don't consume and then negotiate contracts.

              I wonder what happened to ESPN website?

              Videos won't play on any of my browsers (just in the last day or two). One of them says that their security certificate had been revoked.

                    So, the Evil Empire has a replacement for AM SportCenter. something called "Wake UP' I believe. Anybody watching it? From my channel surfing past it, it seems really horrible. Any other comments?

                        Good news for Ivies I guess. Sounds like this whole ESPN+ will be a loser for consumers though.

                          Does this mean we have to pay extra for ESPN3/watch ESPN?

                            That's how I'm interpreting it. Thankfully it is happening next week so the Frozen Four will be available.

                            No way I'm paying an extra fee for their programs. Fox Sports and NBCSN are still an option, and ESPN/2 are both available through HuluTV. If I'm that hard up for one of their live games that are ESPN+ only there are ways to access them for free.

                                Correct. ESPN is working to expand its steaming content, and this is part of it.
