Company Man is an amazing annalist on YouTube looking at all sorts of companies and ho they are progressing and whether they are declining. Company looked at the trends and data and people are cutting the cords and doesn't get how ESPN can still be raising their prices. The price to carry their networks by the cable operators are increasing as more and more people cut subscribing to this network that Company says is devoting less and less time to live sports.
Live sports is what made ESPN but Company Man says every time he turn this channel on all he sees are former athletes and loud mouth annalists talking about sports instead of the network airing it. Company man says people are quitting ESPN because the cable companies are increasing the cost back to them for siring this channel and given a choice consumers are less apt to subsidize the contracts and multi millionaire status luxuries of ballers. He is amazed that ESPN is starting to resemble more and more like FOX
People traditional viewed sports to get away from debate and politics but the executives at this network are pushing politics and general non-action dialogue as streaming and content into ESPN. The price to carry this worthless channel that shows a few games but for 18 hours in a day is essentially a glorified talk sports radio station has increased at the same time as Mr Company points out on his YouTube channel a steep and perhaps perpetual decline in subscribers is taking place and ESPN may never regain these subscriber numbers in the US despite still being basically a sports network monopoly.
Company Man says ESPN is fucked and they better redirect their ship and get out of this sailing to identity and political sports procrastinating and I bet sooner or later Steve Kornacki may be hired by this network to talk sports predictions,gambling,polling etc etc. They could find alot of uses for a numbers addict and a manipulator of talk and use of data that is MSNBCs shit head Steve Kornacki but I guess NBC sports long ago decided this idiot has no business on a sports network screen in front of another screen.
Which brings us back to ESPN. The network can't keep paying for the rights to these sports games and affording it without raising the rates and this is the quagmire this network is in as they need live sports to remain viable as otherwise they can never charge and continue their growth prospects for charging cable companies to carry their increasing unpopular and boring network. Leagues likewise will likely decide to carry more live events on their own networks
