Probably not going to happen and still have commercials
You want the biggest audience and you want to keep a year round audience. If your top channels are around 1 dollar a month, no need to get greedy and kill the volume. Just take a small nick and get max volume.
As for the PTN, would probably be smart to give it away for free outside the footprint to grow viewership and rely on advertising to add the incremental value. Suppose the Cocks are playing the Beavers. As a Beaver fan I might want the channel year round but as the Cock fan being free probably gets me to watch the 1 off game that includes the team I actually follow.

ESPN is garbage. The only time I watch ESPN is when there is a game I'm interested in but that's hardly ever. The programming is usually people yelling at each other.

First of all, let me say I hate the Paul Finebaum show and always have and everything it entails. I remember when it was an experimental sports shock radio show in Birmingham and he was known more for an editorial sports column in the Birmingham Post-Herald.
But if you cut through all the crap, PF is actually a well-connected sports journalist with great sauces. If you want the skinny on a breaking sports story, he's a pretty good guy to watch.
Unfortunately, PF surveyed the landscape and realized he could make a better buck being a sports version of Jerry Springer and has ridden that pony all the way to an ESPN/SECN gig.

If ESPN ever shits the bed,
how much would you be willing to pay on a monthly basis? I have stupid memberships for 10 bucks a month, so to watch good SECN programming (no Pawl) I'd have no issue with 20 bucks a month.

I've don't believe he has great sauces. I heard his Asian dipping sauce sucks.

Can someone explain why they don't put any god damned baseball games on the alt channels, which are receiving zero viewers currently? They are already producing the broadcast and putting it on the internet. More content = more eyeballs = more money.
Does it cost them more to broadcast the game on an alt channel versus internet?

False. We needed ESPN to cut the deals with tv providers.
The PAC 12 thought like you did and those schools get one seventh what SEC teams get from the SECN.

"When the #1 draft pick refuses to interview with Booger", he rightfully so got ripped by the talking heads & former players. As one put it, if he cann't take a sports analyst criticizing him, how will he be able to handle the pro sports writers in Cleveland? What Booger said about him was repeated numerous times by other analysts as well.And I am curious at to his agenda. Anything different than what McElroy says about bama, Tebow bout fla?
