I wish I was a subscriber so I could cancel!!!
I have Dish Network and I block the ESPN channels.
Sadly, you are still paying them. A la Carte programming is the answer.
I want the freedom to choose the channels I want to watch and not being extorted $6 per month for ESPN. Are you listening content providers?
They’ll likely deliver the death blow to their ratings by hiring Obama as a basketball analyst once he leaves office.
They thought that would appeal to young sports fans. Wrong.
Except for an extremely small fraction, young men like young women. Real young women.
Where do you get 100mb download for $70.
Wifi?
And there is lies the rub. If ESPN is down over a million subscribers in the last two months, then so is CNN, TBS, FNC, The Food Network and so on as they are all in a basic bundle. Yet you only hear about ESPN’s woes. Now there are about five ESPN channels some which only show up in higher tier Channel packages. So if customers are downgrading to basic cable a few of the minor ESPN channels go away,but I kind of doubt that is what they are calculating. Not sure what I am missing here.
Wonder how much of this loss can be attributed to cord cutters that may or may not have watched ESPN?
Could be a lot, and it could be a Nielsen rating of number of households.
That garbage did start quite awhile ago and that was when I stopped watching.
Some doofus sacks a quarterback and then dances around. That's his job, he should just go back to the huddle, maybe a high five or something but nothing more.
My high school footbal coach told us we were never to celebrate until after the game. If we did do something on the field he would bench us. He went on to be a quite successful Division II college coach.
Sports used to be one of the few remaining conservative institutions. Over the past few years it has been totally taken over by the left.
The military and the churches are the last two to fall.
I didn’t think you had to subscribe to ESPN - you got it automatically with cable.
Agreed.
I only watch ESPN for college football. Otherwise, I have no use for it.
Apart from the politics my main beef with the network is they’ve turned TOTAL feminization of MEN’s sport. NOT appropriate at all, just showing short skirts and high heels plus babbling. Give me a break !!!
I use Optimum online for internet. I use Smash IPTV for TV
Try Sling TV on your ROKU or similar device.
$20/month to start has most cable channels and many sports.

I pay the $25 price. The site does not list all the channels you do get. It is missing the sports channels I can view.
I am at work so cannot take a screenshot and post as to what I see on my tv thru the ROKU box.
We do the same when we can. Many times we will simulcast on my phone (using the Tunein app) and sync up the audio and video. We like that MUCH better.
I told them to 'drop me a line' if they decide to do get back into science.
I quit the NFL when they got into politics too. I only watch college football now. ( - Roll Tide -)
I too stopped with reading or even watching National Geographic as they would insert something about global baloney and that man is the cause of ills on the planet. Meanwhile a lion is eating alive some animal it caught.
A sport I would watch is ESPN commenters and any player that drops to a knee while the national anthem is playing.
Have them chased by lions.
