How is this still a thing? The main "story" on ESPN homepage now is an Insider only thing . No one is paying 1 cent to read this shit.

Everybody is sick of monthly charges to every kind of crap. They better figure out some consolidation... pronto.

I don't think that technology exists. No way to bundle all of the content that everyone wants together and charge a monthly fee that is then distributed by the company you pay for that delivers the content to you over a cable run to your house.

If only there was a way for the internet to be available to you, without hooking up a phone line.

we get espn+ through our verizon account. I watch Liberty U games on it but the article thing is annoying. I can read the articles on my phone but not logged in on my computer. They said I need to contact ESPN support to fix it. I tried twice and nobody ever got on to help. just waiting. so I've given up ever trying.

I have ESPN+, but not sure I ever read any of the articles anyway. Like it or not, it's the way for me to see a lot of the Big 12 games (Iowa State specifically). I also watch other sports that don't have the interest to take up more main channels broadcast time. Have the Wrexham FA Cup pregame on right now as background noise at work....

Quote:
In the fourth quarter of 2023, Disney's live sports streaming service ESPN+ generated an average monthly revenue of 5.34 U.S. dollars per paying subscriber. This marks an increase from the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year, when the ARPU was 4.84 dollars.

Quote:
ESPN+ added 800,000 subscribers, bringing it to 26 million (an all-time high), during a quarter in which Disney reports that the streaming service delivered more “revenue resulting from an increase in retail pricing and subscriber growth” along with “lower marketing costs.

I get it so I can watch Hawks games and other NHL games. I sometimes watch UFC fights through it as well.

I like the Ondemand feature of ESPN+. The picture quality is better than on my Directv. And I can watch a bunch of college basketball games without having that stupid sports ticker at the bottom.

Only downside is i know how long each game is so I know if a game goes a couple OTs deep which ruins the suspense.
