Good progress; keep it up til there’s no one left to fire and the channel is dead air.

If ESPN were to do it right, they’d broadcast the football games with two soundtracks. The visitor’s local radio station and the home team’s local radio station. You could pick which one to listen to.

They’d save a ton of money.

ESPN is going through changes as more people move away from cable and towards stand-alone streaming services. The company is preparing to launch an "add-on" digital service which will let people watch content on their mobile devices, CEO Bob Iger told CNBC in October.

There is simple way to keep ABC/Disney/ESPN gay thugs from getting automatic money from you each month.

1. "Cut your cable" and use the internet to stream the tv channels you want to watch.

2. Use Sling Blue as your streaming base. It does not include ABC/Disney/ESPN channels. So, these anti American thugs can't get a monthly fee from you.

They could lay off 100 PERCENT of their staff, fold their tents and go off the air, and I still wouldn’t notice the difference.

Maybe my cable bill will go down when the provider isn’t forced to show ESPN’s 15 channels of dreck at whatever they charge us.

Cord-Cutting Explodes: 22 Million U.S. Adults Will Have Canceled Cable, Satellite TV by End of 2017
Research firm eMarketer cuts TV ad-spending forecast on accelerating pay-TV declines

Winter is here for cable and satellite TV operators.

American consumers are cancelling traditional pay-TV service at a much faster rate than previously expected, according to research firm eMarketer.

In 2017, a total of 22.2 million U.S. adults will have cut the cord on cable, satellite or telco TV service to date — up 33% from 16.7 million in 2016 — the researcher now predicts. That’s significantly higher than eMarketer’s prior estimate of 15.4 million cord-cutters as of the end of this year. Meanwhile, the number of “cord-nevers” (consumers who have never subscribed to pay TV) will rise 5.8% this year, to 34.4 million.

“Younger audiences continue to switch to either exclusively watching [over-the-top] video or watching them in combination with free-TV options,” said Chris Bendtsen, senior forecasting analyst at eMarketer. “Last year, even the Olympics and [the U.S.] presidential election could not prevent younger audiences from abandoning pay TV.”

Overall, 196.3 million U.S. adults will have traditional pay TV (cable, satellite or telco) this year, down 2.4% compared with 2016, eMarketer predicts. By 2021, that will drop to 181.7 million, a decline of nearly 10% from 2016. The number of pay-TV viewers 55 and older will continue to rise over the next four years, while for every other age cohort the subscriber tallies will decline.

By 2021, the number of cord-cutters will nearly equal the number of people who have never had pay TV — a total of 81 million U.S. adults. That means around 30% of American adults won’t have traditional pay TV at that point, per eMarketer’s revised forecast.

Wow, will they fire that girl who called Trump a racist? Or will some low level staffers get the boot so that girl can continue to cash Disney’s checks?

ESPN: the worst.

Does this mean they can jack up the price they charge for your cable/satellite/FiOS/whatev service?
