[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 883461, member: 2426"] The main ESPN channel already gets close to that for EVERY cable/sat subscriber. The main ESPN channel alone is estimated to be over $8. Then is is a couple for ESPN2, and some for ESPN college, and over $1.30 for SECN in SEC areas, and something for ACCN, etc. Each cable/sat subscriber now is paying closer to $15 per month for the ESPN suite of channels. I have seen estimates that only 30 percent watch ESPN, so the sports subscriber is being subsidized by the non-sports subscribers. The cost per month for sports fans to get the same ESPN content without others being charged for it would be closer to $50. Plus that is only if everyone subscribes for all 12 months instead of jumping in and out the way people do with streaming services. For ESPN to have similar revenue from only people who watch sports, the cost will be close to full broadcast TV subscriptions. [/QUOTE]
