[QUOTE="cpf2001, post: 946764, member: 6459"] Carriage fees like that have been the strategy for a while but they’re hitting some limits. Look at the streaming TV services dropping Bally stuff, or never picking up the new Dodgers TV network. I see no reason to believe that squeezing more money out of cable subscribers is gonna get any easier with the wealth of other options out there and the overall decline in cable subscriptions especially among younger demographics. From the numbers linked here [URL]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_television_in_the_United_States#Statistics[/URL] that’s close to a 20% drop in the last few years. Sports are going to have to move direct to consumer and what sort of league footprints look best for that? I think the B1G has the inside track there. But you probably need something more like a 60 team national footprint so that the left-behinds don’t simply stop paying for your product. [/QUOTE]
