wouldn't go so far. We really don't know the contract details. ESPN could very well be settling in order to gain carriage like Fox did with FS1. I think the mistake they made with LHN was not doing so.

Also, the "about to be announced" thing is usually leaked by cable companies to retain customers. Now they need to follow up but by leaking it being imminent, it gives them more time and some may even extend contracts, etc.

But sometimes they never get the deal done - I believe one of the big players leaked something similar with LHN before the first year and obviously didn't pick them up. So I won't believe it until these deals are officially announced, though I have to say the Comcast memo, if real, is pretty positive.
