So ESPN owns everything in a losing business, hmmm, interesting model.

I know a lot of businesses are built on losing money in the early stages so that they can get the major share and then jack up the price because you are the only option, but that doesn't always work either.

You know things like, you need to expand the College Football Playoff to generate more money, but the Conferences and ND (same number of votes as the ACC and SEC etc.) can't see eye to eye.

Dang that Texas A&M!! :-)

In related news, YouTubeTV drops Dinsey/ESPN channels and reduces price $15

That's going to be a very interesting test to the market.**

And only one day later Disney folds. Disney channels return to YouTubeTV**

On what do you base .......

YouTube announced they would drop the channels and reduce the price.

You could be right, but I think my theory is more likely than yours.**

You are entitled to your opinion.......

Wow, must have been hit hard by the market to do that.**

I'm not surprised ESPN+ is not profitable...

***E+ paid too much for La Liga among other things**

ESPN and CBS (Paramount+) have been fiercely competing over soccer

**La Liga is very overrated so I think not **
