Agreed. ESPN is going to be less of a player. The trick for Disney will be to unload it while it still has some value.
I think that's in the rear view mirror...this is a very public decline.
And the other conglomerates are undoubtedly looking how to adapt to the new sports realities. Not buy a rotting carcass.
MLB set up a partnership with the big cable operators to run the MLB network...they all splitting the pot together with limited market risk...it's the way to go. Instead of paying huge contracts to "keep" parts of the revenue for yourself...spread out the risk and make some concessions.
