Re: Unfortunately this also got canceled with the Dec mtg

Yeah, that was pretty much ignored by everyone.

ESPN brags that they can outbid everyone else for things like the BCS bowl games because of the captive revenue from cable & satellite customers. It doesn't matter how high they bid since they really don't have to pay it...the viewers do. There is no market force involved here like there is with an ad-supported network which has to balance the income stream (ad rates) with the program cost (program rights fees) when bidding. And the worst part is that the viewers who don't even watch ESPN are forced to pay into this because Disney demands ESPN be on basic tiers.
