ESPN headed right for Streaming Services.
Here's an interesting announcement from ESPN. They are talking with Amazon and Apple and others. The President is Bullish about ESPN. I can think of a new conference channel that would help him out even more.
"Skipper said that ESPN "just had the best year in the history of the company," and its collection of sports rights and digital assets will "lead to steady growth in advertising sales and affiliate fees, outpacing the growing cost of sports rights." Skipper: "ESPN is not a drag on the Walt Disney Company." He added that it "wouldn’t make sense to sell ESPN programs directly to consumers over the Internet." Skipper: "There are lots of people who want ESPN, and it's our task to figure out how to get packages to ESPN that work for them" "
