Homey.......people don't come home from work at the end of the day and say "HONEY......let's watch the 2007 Alabama vs. Auburn game" as opposed to what's going on, on Netflix, or Amazon, and watching a movie. There was never any demand for conference networks. Period.
Nobody spends their evening with their family watching college sports replays on a conference network with the other entertainment choices available. That's not a thing. 80% of your conference network money is due to bundling from people who don't watch (like me).
Conference networks are a false market. There was never a consumer demand. Have you ever taken an economics class?

What the frick is a false market? You think ESPN2, which is worth less than the SECN, exists only because of a false market (whatever the frick that is)?

These new dust eating sooner fans that have appeared here are all complete morons. Best to not waste your time engaging them.

Bitch, I'm an MBA. I fully understand the difference between false markets and consumer demand. There was never any demand for conference networks. It's nothing more than a PR campaign by conference commissioners in the war of college athletics. There was NEVER any demand for that. Ever. People don't come home at night and sit around watching college sports replays from years ago on a conference network. Period. They watch HGTV. They watch America has Talent. They don't sit around watching college sports networks.
Your network 'success' is from bundling alone. Period. In the dying industry of cable television where people have to pay for networks they don't even watch, that is where your network thrives. That is also where it will die, just like the LHN recently has.

It's just occurred to me what's going on here. You're an Okie, which means you're hanging your hopes on the possibility that new content delivery methods will up the value of your school's games, which sits in a piss poor state with a low population. What you don't realize is that content delivery in the internet age will come to look a lot like current content delivery. People want sports, and advertisers love sports, because on demand TV has killed appointment TV watching, and appointment TV watching is very important to the advertiser. So, even if cable companies suffer, and even if ESPN shrinks, you will still see sports channels with LOTS of pull when it comes to the content delivery companies. Check out the reduced rate packages offered by YouTube and other online content delivery companies, and you will still find ESPN, and a 5 dollar sports package that includes SEC Network. You'll pay that 5 dollars if you want ESPN 2 and FS1, and SECN will be in that very popular national package.

People don't sit around at night watching college sports networks. You can't compete with HGTV, History Channel, or anybody really. You can't even compete with the Kardashians. That's reality. :lol:

My fellow fellow fans of SEC schools, I ask you: do we really want more Sooners on this board? Do we really want these people in the SEC?

Look, Clown.....you tucked your tail and ran because of the LHN network did you not? What has happened to it? Turns out....people across America weren't tuning in to watch the LHN network. They didn't care. Go figure.
NOW......Ironically, you're on here thinking America really wants to sit down every night and watch the SEC network as opposed to all of the other entertainment choices available to them. Who's crazy? You? or me?

Good news. Hope they stay together. I want Oklahoma and Texas like I want a hole in my head.

For all of your intelligence and the MBA you bought you are completely missing the mark. College sports networks are not competing with HGTV and the Kardashians. How many college football fans watch the Kardashians? From about August to February the SEC network has more than enough of a target market to make money and drive ad sales. The SEC network allows advertisers in cetain markets to drill their target market with ads for 6-7 months out of the year. Throw in basketball which is getting better in the SEC and that tacks on another couple of months.
Have you ever heard of creating a niche? Millions of businesses make millions of dollars off of "niche" markets.
ESPN already had the infrastructure in place so the cost was rather small and the return is terrific. The network is doing exactly what it was designed to do.
