ESPN Loses 621,000 Subscribers; Worst Month In Company History

[thecentaur]

Terrible argument. Blacks are how much of the sports demographic? But they shouldnt have blacks discussing sports? And who can barely speak English?

espn sucks but has nothing to with any of your comments

Ridiculous. Because you have done something you're an expert on it, or can effectively communicate about it?

That would be like saying you, who are down about 45k with posted picks even with your recent good run, are qualified to host a show about gambling.

When I want your take on something, I'll exhume you, open your casket, and ask you ya buried fraudulent troll! azzkick(&^

ESPN = MSNBC Sports

Good point. Why do financial channels have financial people on them. Why does the food network have chefs on them? Why do political shows have political people on them? What is ESPN thinking.....how dare they include black people. Your stupidity exceeds expectations with every ghost

but keep citing fake records and trolling my pick threads. That will help you

LOL of course it's good if a commentator has experience in the field, but they are commentators so the most important skill is effective communication and proper English. You aren't going to sit rain man up there to talk about card counting.

Remind me, what professional sports did Stephen A. Smith and Jemele Hill, the worst commentators on an awful channel, have a career in? Get back in ur casket buried troll azzkick(&^

Just when I think your posts cannot get any more idiotic......you go Rainman.

How do you find your way home at night?

[h=1]ESPN Subscriber Losses Finally Take Their Toll at Walt Disney Co[/h]

[FONT=&quot]revenue for the segment -- led by ESPN's family of networks -- fell 7% year-over-year, and operating income fell 13%. ESPN was the main culprit as its ad revenue declined 13% year-over-year.[/FONT]

 

[Acebb]

Because ALL the other channels lost the same exact amount of subscribers as ESPN.

You are unbelievably uninformed.

TBS didn't lose 621,000 subscribers. Neither did Fox News.

I have no idea why you comment on these topics where you do nothing but reveal yourself as a boob.

you have an unbelievable lack of reading comprehension.

 

[ChugsMcGee]

Because FS1 is not on basic cable .
Any channel on basic cable lost the same amount of subscribers.
So the point is they did not lose a single subscriber due to the reasons most people mentioned in this thread.

And for the 4th time my comments have nothing to do with which network gets hurt the most by lost subscribers.

So I have no idea why you keep bringing up the fact espn gets hurt the most. That fact has absolutely nothing to do with what I'm talking about.

Thats a completely different subject .

Start another thread if you want to talk about that.

But, but, but...you're ruining their narrative!

WSJ reporting Amazon is going to start bidding for sports rights.

You think cable is in trouble now? Just wait.

you have an unbelievable lack of reading comprehension.

Really?

.

Really?

You guys are bitching about ESPN losing 600k subscribers like it's their fault.

But guess what?

TBS, FX, CNN, FOX News, TNT, Spike, AMC ,BET and hundreds of other channels lost 600,000 subscribers last month to so none of this nonsense you people are bringing up about ESPNs programming has a damn thing to do with why they are losing subscribers.

Try to inject some analytical thinking to your lives

It is cute when you lie about your own posts.

Uh.....your nickname is lying acebb and your one and only prediction this past year was

"I don't think Hillary will actually run"

plus you welched on a ban bet and shouldn't even be posting here. Tack on that you stalk women......you should probably just be quiet.

 

[SunDodger]

Every cable company across the country has a different channel line-up.

There is no way a channel like Spike is losing as many subscribers per month as ESPN is.

 

[Acebb]

The trend continues, it will be so interesting to see what ESPN is like say 5 years from now.

ESPN coverage per Nielsenecember: 88.401M (-555,000 vs Nov)

January: 88.185M (-216K vs Dec)

 

[tatehill2000]

I would be happy to take over ESPN for their current value... 1.00 then I will turn around and offer Howard Stern 51% of the company, and in 5 years it will be the highest watched/rated show in all of television

 

[HugeUnderdog]

I have not used their sight in years. It got ridiculous, they started charging for a lot of little things. You're reading an article and a ways through you are told to become an insider to see the rest. Stuff like that. Users probably have many alternatives.

ESPN Drags Down Disney's First-Quarter Sales

Cable networks, particularly ESPN, have been an albatross on Disney’s stock price even as the company’s two other major prongs, movies and theme parks, continue to perform well.
