said by rahvin112:Most people don't realize this but ESPN is included in every single package because Disney requires them to do so and it's the most expensive channel available. Without the restrictions Disney imposes there would be a package available from every provider without ESPN that was at least $5 cheaper a month. Not only that but it would be a fairly popular package because regardless of what the press touts ESPN's appeal isn't universal.
In Canada they have a la carte and theme packs.
