Heads up about ESPN

[RustyBourneHorse]

So, I'm currently without ESPN services because apparently they're trying to jack up the prices, and my cable provider is challenging them on this because of how much more ESPN is trying to charge for packages. It sucks because I was wanting to watch a college football game, and I'd like to be able to see MNF, including the Cowboys. I get that ESPN is really struggling, but this is ridiculous what they are do. It's not just ESPN. It's also Freeform and anything else associated with Disney. Just thought I'd give a heads up.

They are struggling for a reason, all self-inflicted, like many "news" outlets. MNF is the only time I ever put BSPN on

Disney, ABC are hemorrhaging money right now. "The Mouse" networks, including ESPN. Some on here have mentioned that Disney is studying selling its networks. and ESPN may be overdue for serious changes.

You can get ESPN on directv streaming. I think you get a one week free trial.

Yup, and FreeForm. Great films, especially around Halloween, but the way they are hemorrhaging, I can see them selling both.

Problem is that I have Spectrum, and I really don't want to switch to ATT.

You can get directv streaming and keep Spectrum internet.

It will be interesting as ESPN's worth drops if Apple makes an official offer to buy them. There has been rumors they are interested in getting further into the sports media market for their streaming platform.

Android box + alternative stream provider =problem solved

Hmm, I'll see if I can do that. I got a couple things coming up, but I may consider using the trial while Spectrum and BSPN try to figure this out.

Hell, AT&T stopped showing the local FOX affiliate that shows the NFL games because of contract/cost issues. They have 1 more week to settle it or the old Antenna is coming out.

Oh, so it's not just Disney? This is nuts lol. I'm glad that the cable companies are trying to keep the costs down, but I'm sensing that Fox, Disney, etc are trying to force everyone to shift to streaming, which is probably another reason the cable companies are pushing back.

True...but I'm a DirecTV subscriber and haven't had my local FOX station for almost a full year and our local ABC station got pulled about a month ago. It's absolutely ridiculous. Now, when you tune to the blacked out ABC channel, there's a note saying that you can find most of the programming that you're currently missing by streaming it on the PEACOCK TV app. I'm fairly certain that NBC owns the Peacock App so I'm not sure how or why they would be streaming ABC programming. You can't make this stuff up.

I'll be driving right by their offices on Tuesday morning. Any message you'd like me to relay?
