ESPN pay cuts?

Seven for sure, with Fox Sports 1. Is there an eighth I'm forgetting? And we fucking LIVE here!

 

TBS is another one. I don't know if there's a ninth.

 

The Jays seem to be on Apple every couple weeks - two weeks ago against the Angels, tomorrow against the Cubs - and it pisses off the fans who are used to watching games on Rogers, which also owns the team. I can't imagine many Jays fans getting Apple just to watch MLB.

 

The thing with Apple tv is whether it is going to be around. From what I gather, even though Apple doesn't release numbers on streaming alone, it doesn't do well. Apple can afford it, but what happens if it pulls the plug in a couple of years?

 

Last year, I had everything on sling red and orange. Only live sports I didn’t have was CBS Sports Network. Paramount for soccer. ESPN+. Redzone. All the conference networks. Had everything else.

Looking back, I’d rather pay more for one satellite service or cable service where I would get everything for $200 a month.

I suppose the bonus was that I only kept asking from August through January. Once NFL playoffs are over, I barely watch TV anymore.

 

I think this is what the universities of Oregon and Washington were asking about a week ago now.

 

A bit off target but it's about streaming. NFL to Raise Price of NFL+ Streaming Packages as It Adds NFL Network, RedZone

 

I'm not giving Uncle Rupert my money. Thanks.

Wow. She is on ESPN almost everyday.

 

Maybe just a coincidence, but she was on ESPN radio the other night saying she expected CJ Stroud to be the breakout star of the draft - a day before his debut last night.

 

Everybody else got laid off.
