ESPN's Subscriber Numbers Plummet for Second Straight Month
They lost 550,000 subscribers in November, which follows October's losses of 629,000 subscribers. These numbers are per Nielsen. Though ESPN challenged Nielsen's numbers last month, Nielsen reviewed them but still found big losses for ESPN's subscriber numbers.
[T]he worst month in the history of ESPN has now been followed up by the second worst month in ESPN history. ESPN has now lost a jawdropping 1.176 million subscribers in the past two months. Putting that into perspective, that means nearly 20,000 people a day are leaving ESPN for each of the past two months. If that annual average subscriber loss continued, ESPN would lose over seven million subscribers in the next 12 months. And at an absolute minimum, these 1.176 million lost subscribers in the past two months will lead to a yearly loss in revenue of over $100 million. According to Nielsen ESPN now has 88.4 million cable and satellite subscribers, a precipitous decline from well over 100 million subscribers just a few years ago ... The rapid decline -- and apparent escalation -- in cable and satellite customers abandoning the bundle is the biggest story in sports, and there isn't a close second. That's why I've been writing about it for the past several years.He goes on to analyze ESPN's business model. ESPN is set to pay $7.3 billion in broadcast rights to various sports organizations this year. This is all contractual; they can't get out of it. ESPN can afford to pay that amount only because they have huge subscriber base and they charge every single cable subscriber in America $7 per month (which, of course, you can almost never get out of paying). The broadcast rights are ESPN's selling point, but also a huge cost. If ESPN makes less money, they're still on the hook for that massive rights cost. ESPN is still making a lot of money (just less of a lot of money), and will make money for the next five years, but if people keep cord-cutting and abandoning ESPN, at some point, ESPN just won't be able to pay such huge amounts for broadcast rights, which then undermines their whole raison d'etre: Who wants to watch a "sports channel" that doesn't broadcast big sports? ESPN used to be like that, 30 years ago, featuring a lot of pro bowler league and other cheap-to-buy broadcast rights. In fact, it used to look a lot like "The Ocho." (If it's almost a sport, we've got it here). I can't see them going backwards back to that. Not while extorting $7 per month from every cable subscriber in America. T. Becket Adams links this piece and discusses the Social Justice Warriorification of the onetime sports network.

Perfect description. Go to their website and as you are scrolling down trying to find a score for a particular sport, suddenly every other posting is an article about Trump or government, or some SJW.
It is completely out of place. As a female wanting sports scores, etc. it's as irritating to me as it must be to guys.

I figure the same applies to MSNBC. NBC owns so many other good channels that their ridiculously low MSNBC viewership doesn't matter.

Ha! I was discussing with Bander the other night that the X Games provide scientific proof that men's brains and women's brains are completely different.
You see, a man looks at a snowmobile, looks at a ski slope and goes "Hey! I know! I'll take the snowmobile down the ski slope and do acrobatics in the air when I go flying off a mogul! What? How am I going to practice that? I'll build a ramp and a mud pit and take the snowmobile off the ramp and land in the mud! I mean OBVIOUSLY."
A woman hears that and says "You are going to die."
Mind you, I love the X Games, they're a ton of fun and, sure, sure, there are women who participate in them. But coming up with the events themselves? Yeah, that's a guy thing.

Why would ESPN buy MLB's streaming service? Simple, it is the company every goes to to manage their streaming services. NHL, HBO, and WWE all use MLB for their online streaming packages. HD quality streaming, VOD programming, DVR features on live programming, and the ability to watch home or away feeds. The cost? MLB and WWE are about $120 each a year, $10 a month.
If colleges and the NFL went to packages like this, I would drop most of my cable package in a heartbeat.

Netflix is for binge-watching whole seasons of shows at least a year after they aired.

I don't know if this is related, but there is some Christian org. that is advertising on Christian radio. Their crusade is to get Cosmo designated as X-rated reading material. It probably should be. My mom would occasionally pick one up at the grocery store. My brothers and I always thought of it as soft-core pron, and that was back in the '70s.

HGTV cancelled a new show a couple of years ago when it was discovered that the brothers on the show belonged to a church that was against gay marriage.
I personally turn off any of the home remodeling or buying shows episodes that feature gays buying their home so they can start a family, etc.
I don't require HGTV to boycott gay couples. In return I don't like it when they boycott/cancel shows because of the host's traditional beliefs.

Right.
The advertising contracts are not long-term.
They can only charge what they do for the ads if they can show they have the viewers to justify it.
And the cable nets will use that club of lost viewers to renegotiate their remittance rates. So, that'll drop.
They're trapped in a downward spiral--how do they get these viewers back?

Yeah, that chick they got singing the song now really gets one ready for some football.
And I blame ESPN/Disney for all the ads in football now. Before they bought MNF, the games rarely went to commercial after a kick or a punt. They paid so much and, to pay for it, they stuffed even more commercials in.
And everyone followed suit.
Now, you see more commercials than actual football.

Uh, no. That would be Nascar itself. When the year end champion was winning without ever having to win a race, and simply racked up points, they had to do something to change it.
So they went to the "Chase". Most Nascar fans like the new format. You can have someone who has done well throughout the year, but it comes down to single elimination for the championship during the last ten races. Meaning you have to race to win, not just place in points. Much better racing.
Nascar has many other problems, none of which will be solved easily or without great pain. IMO, the season is way too long, some of the tracks such as Michigan have to have additional car design or track design changes, multi car team owners should be prohibited, IMO, and ticket prices are exhorbitant for the average fan.

Um what? That is just flatly wrong. The entire point of MLB.tv is that you can stream the games without any kind of cable/satellite subscription. There is absolutely no need for a cable subscription to "the sports networks" in order to buy the MLB.tv premium package.
Now. That being said, there are all kinds of blackout restrictions if you live in a local tv area for a MLB team and if you are trying to dump cable and go to MLB.tv instead, nope, you are SOL. So that may be what you mean. But other than that, no.
Hell, MLB.tv is probably the most cost effective streaming subscription. Every out of market game for every team for $110 a year. If you go single team, it's $85 a year. That's, what, just over 50 cents a game for single team?
That's the model that I think live sports will end up using. Want baseball? MLB.tv. Like tennis? Tennis Channel Plus. NBA? League Pass. NHL? Center Ice. NFL? Sunday Ticket. Soccer? Move to Europe.
Do that and a la carte programming and let people pay for what they want.

"I'M 100% RIGHT AND YOU ARE TOTALLY WRONG," they scream in a much louder voice.
If you don't agree, they'll just keep screaming until you do.
Or until they get fired from their cushy university teaching job, or blow themselves up because their god alan told them to. No difference really.

It's really about the content. "news" and the "weather" are cheap to produce, so they don't need a huge base (or a very high fee) to create content.
ESPN, otoh, pays real dollars for content and went on a bit of a binge in the past decade, paying more and more for the same things, thus the increase in "shows" featuring lots of screaming fools - they're cheap filler content.
Expect more such "shows" as time goes by (and viewers go bye bye)

The FBI still hasn't turned over to the State Department any of the
messages it reportedly obtained from the computer shared by top Clinton
aide Huma Abedin and her now-estranged husband Anthony Weiner, the
administration told a federal judge Tuesday.
FBI officials have
signaled they will eventually turn over any State Department documents
they obtain, lawyers said --- but there is no time frame for doing so.
"We haven't recovered anything from the FBI," said Lisa A. Olson, the Justice Department lawyer handling the case.
Please, please, please let this be because the FBI is waiting for Trump to be sworn in, and his SoS and AG in place, before proceeding....

The rise in “subprime” car loan delinquencies is a “significant concern”, according to researchers at the New York Federal Reserve, which point out how the market continues to grow even as the number of borrowers in arrears is rising.
In an article on the NY Fed’s Liberty Street Economics blog, two of the central bank’s researchers explore the latest quarterly report on US household debt, and pull out some worrying trends.
The auto loan market is growing strongly, reaching $1.135tn in the third quarter, and 2016 looks like it will be the strongest since at least 1999, when the Fed’s data begins. Most of the loans are made to highly creditworthy borrowers, those with an Equifax credit score of 760 or above.
But the pile of loans for “subprime” borrowers, with scores below 620, has climbed sharply in recent years, after understandably slumping in the wake of the financial crisis. The subprime car loan market surpassed its pre-crisis peak last year, and has grown to about $275bn 2016,

I mean, you can't just stop subscribing to ESPN. It is usually part of a tier that includes other garbage. So not sure that this is an entire damning of the channel itself.
The advent of cord cutting isn't just about people going all protesty. It is also about the fact that the economy still sucks and things like cable tv are the first to get nipped. That nipping is even easier with cable because it is something that you don't have to entirely get rid of but can just tier down.

ESPN has a monopoly on D-1 College Football. They create narratives and push them. It is has become so corrupt. ABC/ESPN own the rights to every single Bowl game.
ESPN needs to die. Also, ESPN needs to die because they openly support sports gambling to boost their NFL ratings in the past (and NCAA football as well). Kids don't need to see that. It's wrong on many levels.

LONDON (AP) - The Bank of England's new plastic 5-pound note is stronger, cleaner and safer - but apparently not suitable for vegetarians.
Vegans and vegetarians are calling for the new bank notes, which have only been in circulation for two months, to be replaced because they are made with a substance derived from animal fat.
The Bank of England confirmed on Twitter that the notes contain "a trace of a substance known as tallow" - a rendered form of animal fat, processed from suet, which is sometimes used in soaps and candles.
An online petition against the notes has been getting attention Wednesday. The petition says the use of tallow is "unacceptable to millions of vegans, vegetarians, Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and others in the U.K."

Oh, I just thought of something vis-a-vis the Trump flag burners lose their citizenship flap. While its true, the government can't strip natural born citizens of their citizenship, Americans can voluntarily give up their citizenship. All Congress has to do is pass a law stating that it recognizes that anyone who burns the American flag is voluntarily surrendering their citizenship and all rights and privileges thereof.

Now, you can also purchase through a cable provider but you don't have to do that. I have no idea why you were told that you had to have a cable subscription. The entire point of MLB.tv is that you don't.

Most of the network that runs the day to day operations really don't give a shit about how many conservatives are pissed off and viewers that are leaving.
It's the same with newspapers and basically every form of tv media in this country.
Their left-wing ideals and being part of the "cool club" are far more important to these people than making shareholders happy.
So this type of slant will be par for the course for a long time.
My strategy is at the very least, stop the government from going out of their way to protect these companies. Ending bundling is an easy start.

Cancel Sling TV when not in use.
Or keep it if you're stuck on shit like AMC and the Walking Dead.
Either way, you can control if you have ESPN or not.
I turn off Sling TV right around the end of the CF championship game.
Turn it on in September.
Most of the rest of the time, I watch movies on Netflix, Amazon, HBO or Showtime. All of which you can get through ROKU (streaming).

MLB.TV is not MLB Network. And I agree, the MLB Network shows are just outstanding. Huh. I guess I lied and I do watch talking head shows but I don't view MLB Tonight as a talking head show since it's actually about the damn game not "analysis" about the damn game.

IIRC part of the price of Suburbans and Pickup trucks subsidizes small cars. The do this so they can meet the Govt mandated CAFE standards of average vehicle gas mileage.
Posted by: Buzzsaw
Yep, even the former GM CEO said as much.
They have to make the shitbox cars and basically lose money on them in order to sell what consumers actually want, full size SUVs and Trucks.
If Trump got rid of CAFE, the price of full size vehicles would go down.

This is the thinking that got the NFL and ESPN into trouble. This idea that they could do no wrong, demand will just increase, etc. Forgetting, that part of what built them was scarcity (particularly with the NFL), and too with Star Wars. I mean it took 15 years to get a fourth movie. Not nurturing your audience, etc.

From the PBS laugh-fest --
JUDY WOODRUFF: And just finally, Madam Leader, how does the next president bring the two sides together, the two parties together after this election?
REP. NANCY PELOSI: Well, I think we will see some of that tonight.
I think Hillary Clinton's statement tonight about being the president of all of the people, again, we have our differences since the beginning of our country. It's a legitimate difference. What is the role of government, et cetera, federal, state, local?
But, also, we have respect for other people's points of view. And I think that that has to really come across in what Hillary Clinton says tonight.
She needs no advice from anyone. You know, she's an experienced public figure. But there has to be no doubt that this isn't about Democrats or Republicans. That's minor. It's about America. It's about the vows of our -- honoring the vows of our founders, respecting the sacrifices of our men and women in uniform, and honoring the aspirations of our children and their future.

I have always thought that your box sends some kind of signal back, in order to verify what channels you are paying for. So, they should also be able to tell what channel you watching throughout the day. Why would they still be paying Nielsen at all?

They are selling TSP, but in small print it says "phosphate free".
The REAL TSP is usually merchandised on the bottm shelf.
Read the label.

I just put that on my "next order" links for Amazon. Of course it says for "professional use only". How much do you use per dishwasher load?

There are already 3+ cable channels that you can turn to if you want to hear discussions about politics. But the ESPN talent wants to make your viewing of sports contests conditioned upon their right to deliver lectures to the audience. Adults tend not to like this.

They don't do as good a job, and they don't last nearly as long, but
they do save you 25 cents a month on your utility bill.
--
Don't forget that the overall cost is XX% more.
So basically, it will take you decades to recoup that cost. And the appliances aren't rated to last that long.
/hahaha, people who don't understand math are so easy to screw

Sporting News used to have lots of baseball, so did Sports Illustrated. Then about 30 years ago they had less and less and now its amazing if more than one page has anything about baseball. ESPN never did have much, one show and a quick mention once in a while, then football news even in the off season.

Dishwashers. New dishwashers are "effecient" as fuck. Uses little water, less energy on the drying cycle. And the detergents are phosphate free.
Dishes are dirty as shit.
Ive started using Cascade Fryer Boil Out. Its the old Cascade formula with phosphates.
My dishes are clean again.
Posted by: fixerupper at November 30, 2016 12:36 PM (8XRCm)
I just buy the phosphate and add it to the Cascade, I will have to try Cascade Fryer Boil Out.

The energy used to make an appliance far outweighs the energy saved. But then again, these rules are written by appliance makers. Why its almost as if big business likes big government.

Go to Home Depot and pick up some TSP (trisodium phosphate). Painters use it to degrease surfaces before painting them.
Make sure that it really contains trisodium phosphate (Na3PO4).
I've seen some instances where they still use the TSP name but the chemical is NOT TSP.

I have a friend who always got pissed off at the "John 3:16" signs at football games; he complained that people didn't come to the game to get religion.
I told him he should demand equal time. I invited him to come to my church and hold up a sign at the back of the congregation that said "Alabama 52 - USC 6" during the sermon.

Could he really be so much worse than incredibly vapid Brazile? The
fact that she (and others) has been in the upper reaches of the DNC for
so long is an indicator of the extent to which the media have actually
been doing the DNC's job.
Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at November 30, 2016 12:06 PM (ZO497)
He's everything the awful Brazile and Schultz were, with the added drawback of being basically an out and proud muslim jihadist/apologist. If he's crowned head of the DNC, it'll be like Christmas and my Birthday all at once!
Average everyday people, pretty much anybody on the fence already, will RUN from the democrat party when they see just how completely insane a bat$hit lefty america hating snowflake BLM jihadist supporting cop killing no borders tax everything parody of itself it has become. This will accelerate the bleeding we saw last Nov 9th to terminal levels.
Please, please please. Go with Ellison dems. He's your GUY!

There is a service available that bypasses this and they constantly work to stay ahead of Netflix.
I can't remember the name but I'll describe it. For 40 bucks a year, it is a platform that takes every single TV and movie Netflix offers across the globe into one platform to browse and watch with identical Netflix platform. Search for ways to bypass Netflix VPN on the internet and it should pop right up as the best way to get around that problem.

Generation Z (those young enough not to have voted or just voted in 2016)....are the most conservative generation since WWII.
Posted by: Pepe, Proud American Nationalist at November 30, 2016 12:39 PM (Tegl7)
-----------------------
Oh? I hope you're right but I don't know how you would judge that, especially since most of them have never voted. And I have no idea how they voted this year.
The most conservative generation is actually the Baby-Boomers, the only age cohort to vote against Obama in both 2008 and 2012. Even when they were young and therefore most prone to foolish idealism, they went solidly for Nixon over McGovern.

I'm not saying you are wrong here, but I'm pretty sure the Xers are actually the ones who voted against Obama twice. But you are definitely correct that the Boomers are way more conservative than the loudmouth hippies of their bunch.

You can get cable without ESPN, but they tend to be more basic broadcast only, or broadcast plus a few channels. For example, I can get USA, AMC, CSPAN, Disney, CNN, FoxNews, Cartoon, Showtime, Food, HGTV, and some more in a basic package.
