ESPN has lost 10 million subscribers since 2013.

These days, I see more content being published with errors than I have in the past. Not even grammatical errors only either. I'm talking errors in content as well. It's apparent that the aim now is to get your content out as fast as possible and then correct errors rather than getting everything in order before publishing.
So many news websites are unreadable now because of this.

because of youtube and vine and etc. who wants to wait 45 minutes to see the 2 minute highlight of the game they really want to see?

I've been to the houses of cord cutters and all the fukkboy shyt they have to go thru to fire up programming, especially live programming, isn't worth it IMO. The dependence on so many others for passwords to various subscriptions is annoying - or else they pay for all these subscriptions which by the time you add it to your internet bill you're paying the same as you would with a cable/internet bundle. When cord cutting becomes more convenient, I'll consider it, but at the moment, $99/month for cable, internet, the expanded sports channels, HD, and hbo isn't hurting my pockets.

this is the only reason i wont go all the way.
until internet gets cheaper, its not that huge of a difference.
Saying that, I do have a roku which i use for amazon and netflix and hulu.
Why do everyone on espn basically have they own show and 95% of them are trash
U want sports radio listening to mad dog radio minus Stephen A show
Then look at the shows... Mike and Mike is on for 4 hours and every hour it's the same topic they discuss in the first hour of the show.... Then u have to hear Greenberg talk about the jets... Dude be talking about them like the some 4,5, 6 time champions
Then u have first take.... Stephen A always on some black athletes stay off the weed and white players need a second chance rant..... skip writes the topic of the show so that's why u see constant talk of the cowboys, nfc east, LeBron choking, New England patriots talk and Tebow
His and hers is ok
Bomani, lebatard and papi are good...
Cornhieser and wilbon is not bad.... Tony is cool cause he doesn't dikk ride athletes
Sports center a joke....

but yeah, the ISP costs are too hight. Cable wont die, they just becoming internet companies now. The thing is, those can be competitive but no one wants to permit that.

Yea i only watch Highly Questionable and PTI. Everything else is trash
I went without ESPN for awhile, but I signed up for Playstation Vue for $29.99/month and get ESPN now. I really hope this catches on because paying $30 for cable is reasonable to me
Word? So you can watch live games from ESPN/Abc on this?
i usually dont work on Monday like that so last week I woke up and caught the 9am SportsCenter
yooooo! they got a chick who strictly there to report the social media news
its crazy tho, cause i know alotta you was probably just like me back in the day
get up, iron your clothes for school etc etc all while SportsCenter plays in the background
now i could give a fukk about the shyt
my WATCH gives me more info on sports than SC

Yup. I'm not 100% sure about ABC because local channels aren't available in all markets but we get ABC/FOX/NBC in Houston. They don't offer CBS yet, but you can always just get an HD antenna to get local channels if they're not available on Vue.

espn is a joke of a company now. they have horrible talent, no in-depth analysis or insight, no integrity with reporting/breaking news, lackluster and boring shows and just a non-innovative company the past several years.
they should've created their own subscription service but fell behind the curve with that because they wanted to get hollywood and do award shows, game shows (stump the schwab and dream job) and create original TV shows with 30 for 30 and the life being the only good quality show and they canned the life
(as a youngin i guess madden nation was enjoyable). they tried making a cellphone with no direct telecomm contract provider and that flopped immediately when they should've focused on creating their own media box to create a direct to consumer product. the tv model is outdated and even tho i hate seeing ppl lose jobs, thank god it's going down hill. hopefully this shakeup will bring out some new innovation or up-to-date business model.

So you don't need a netflix, prime, or hulu account to use it on Roku? It just gives you free access?you gonna need to pay to use those apps
but yeah, the ISP costs are too hight. Cable wont die, they just becoming internet companies now. The thing is, those can be competitive but no one wants to permit that.
Or did you mean pay to download the apps onto the tv? If that's what you meant, nah.
