[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 954239, member: 2957"] The reality is the current TV model is dying .. and quickly. Beginning in 2013, cable TV started experiencing a loss of subscribers, and that loss has only grown wider since. [LIST=1] [*]New competitors have emerged, challenging the legacy systems. Sling, Hulu, and others offer much less expensive alternatives to cable. [*]Consumers are no longer willing to pay for a plethora of channels that they don’t watch. And that’s where ESPN generates the fees needed to pay for media rights. [*]Few organizations have the clout to stream on their own. So, they will increasingly splinter into skinny bundles available to anyone with an Internet connection. [*]The costs of the legacy bundled cable subscriptions had grown so high that consumers are no longer willing to pay and are forgoing cable services all together.

The data backs up this transition. According to Nielsen, between 2014 and 2018, the percentage of broadband-only households has more than tripled. FWIW, with wired campuses, virtually no students are experienced using cable at all. [/LIST] In ten years, maybe less, there will be no ESPN. There will be Saturday Ticket which you can buy and stream on any device you want for $150 a year. Theres going to be a massive change and whats about to happen to Washington State Is to going to be common. [/QUOTE]
