>ESPN, in particular, has lost 7 million subscribers in two years.
>It was in August that Disney CEO Bob Iger warned that ESPN suffered "some subscriber losses," but a regulatory filing late Wednesday indicates a fairly hefty number: 7 million subscribers in two years.
>Disney disclosed that its most profitable TV asset has 92 million subscribers, down from 95 million a year ago and down from 99 million the year before that.
>In fact, as Iger acknowledged in August — a revelation that sunk the stocks of the entire industry — Disney's cable TV channels in general have been losing subscribers for two years running, presumably as consumers cord-cut or cord-shave, taking much of their viewing online with Hulu, Netflix and others.

It's ogre, cable is finished.

>Starz has the lowest loss
Imagine if they didn't have Ash vs Evil Dead.

it'll be "finished" 10 years from now when most televisions being sold come with a "smart" option to let people use the internet or use netflix
it'll be dead once people who never figured out the internet stop being alive
espn needs to fucking die everytime i watch that shit its either 4 niggers at a desk racebaiting or some stupid fucking discussion with women discussing sports for diversity
>millenials are so poor they can't afford 100 dollars a month for perfect HDTV 300 channels
>opt to stream netflix onto their 15" laptops
>they actually think that they are 'cutting the cord' because they want to.
LOL, stop being fucking poor

>100 dollars a month for perfect HDTV 300 channels
The only reason why I have cable is because they jew you over with bundles and it's $300 a month

Exactly this.
ESPN took a channel that was almost entirely for men and shifted their focus almost overnight to this bizarre SJW, inclusiveness and diversity channel. All because a small group of harpies screeched at them about -isms.
And now they actually surprised that they are losing viewers by the boatloads.
That's the problem when you actually take these Social Justice Whiners to heart and change your product to soothe them: They're complainers, not consumers. They aren't going to actually watch the programming you've altered to accommodate them, they're just going to move on and find something else "problematic" to whine about.

This in intentionally graphically designed to make their per share cost was the total percentage loss. I think they are so abandoning the old tv syndicate of cable and satellite though. Can you imagine what's going to happen when streaming is the new norm?

>4 niggers at a desk
That's all ESPN is. The dumbest hosts, they are barely literate.

I only was using my dish for live sports and that's hardly worth the 100 plus a month. So many super high quality streams for free on the interwebs that don't even have ads. I'm too busy working and having a family to pay for honey boo boo and the Kardashians regardless if I watch them. I don't want to contribute to shit like that anyway.

I don't watch ESPN, when did this happen? Would normies notice or just autists that are hypersensitive to this shit?
>>63057364
All I remember from ESPN was that it was exactly like E News only with athletes as celebrities.
It makes sense people have stopped watching ESPN. They've been trying to break into the political scene and the liberal propaganda is just too much.

>sports are pure competition based on meritocracy
>ESPN is taken aback when sports fans are annoyed by their communist propaganda
Do they stop alienating their core audience like a responsible business or do they use the star wars money to fund their social crusade?
>watching sport
First sign of plebs
