The Charter/Disney dispute could break the sports media revenue model

Smell ya' later, ESPN.**
MP4VT2004 • 09/07/23 10:48 PM ET
Guess it could cement the B1X as the one P-conference
EDGEMAN • 09/06/23 09:51 PM ET
I might just watch the condensed games on you tube the following week**
OrlandoHokie • 09/06/23 04:55 PM ET
cancelling ESPN and using YouTube would be a way of punishing ESPN
ren_hoek • 09/06/23 05:36 PM ET
You’d trust the internet to be the same thing?????**

ESPN is no longer in a strong negotiating position. Charter could
Big12 guy • 09/06/23 02:44 PM ET
According to Charter, only 25% of their subs watch Disney-owned channels
tarheelblue • 09/06/23 02:49 PM ET
That makes sense. When I was working in the industry...
CobbCountyHokie • 09/07/23 09:44 AM ET
Isn't it somewhat true that most viewers watch about 6-8 cable channels?
mrcaniac • 09/07/23 06:06 PM ET
Just to put my resume out there...
CobbCountyHokie • 09/07/23 09:51 AM ET
Think about what happens if an Amazon or Apple buy Disney? Talk about
Stech • 09/06/23 03:05 PM ET
I actually think Apple will become a joint owner of ESPN with Disney
CobbCountyHokie • 09/07/23 09:46 AM ET
Would they consider all of Disney and sell off the bits they don’t want?**
jms41 • 09/08/23 09:27 PM ET
I could even see them going to a pay-per-view model.
tarheelblue • 09/06/23 03:10 PM ET
it's felt like that's been coming for several years IMO. At least the
reestuart • 09/06/23 05:18 PM ET
And that will hugely shrink the sport just like what happened to boxing
turkeywinghokie • 09/06/23 05:17 PM ET
I might go exclusively to the radio if that happened.
EDGEMAN • 09/06/23 04:07 PM ET
Pay-per-view WITH commercials.**
Femoyer Hokie • 09/06/23 03:54 PM ET
Make no mistake, they will still figure a way out to make money.
goldendomer • 09/06/23 03:28 PM ET
Me too, in fact I think that’s where we are going. Changes who’s in & out
Stech • 09/06/23 03:28 PM ET
Conferences might disappear
mrcaniac • 09/07/23 06:24 PM ET
Watching the game at home could cost as much as a stadium ticket does.**

VT Pez4Life • 09/07/23 10:13 AM ET
That would fill the stadiums back up, crazy times.**
Stech • 09/06/23 03:40 PM ET
Or drive fans completely away from the sport.**
EDGEMAN • 09/06/23 04:07 PM ET
Or drive them to more sports bars, IMHO the matchups will make up for the
Stech • 09/06/23 04:40 PM ET
Or to movie theaters. The ACC may have been ahead of the curve.**
CoolJCPA • 09/06/23 05:04 PM ET
Good point, especially if they serve beer and wine. :-)**
