But what does ESPN show live sports wise that makes it worth it? Monday Night Football? My wife would want it during tennis tournaments. What else? ESPN is just a bunch of news and talk shows, very little live sports of any merit.
ESPN would lose a massive amount of revenue with a $10-15 pay service. They already get something around $7.50 per cable subscriber. What percent of those cable subscribers would sign up for the service....20%? And what happens to commercials in a subscription service? HBO/Netflix/Sirius(mostly) don't have commercials. That along with costs in providing and up keeping the service would be a huge loss for them.
