At least according to ESPN as reported by the Wall Street journal (below). While I’ll concede that PAC12 exposure could be hurt if we are too far ahead of the curve and go to all streaming before the rest of the world is there. But – sooner or later, this is the future, and I’m fine with jumping on it now if it gives us the most money:
“ESPN is laying the groundwork to sell its channel directly to cable cord-cutters as a subscription-streaming service in coming years, according to people familiar with the matter, a shift with profound implications for the company and the broader television business.
Executives at ESPN and its parent, Disney, for years have said it was inevitable that the sports-TV channel would one day be available as a stand-alone streaming service. Now, as consumers increasingly cut the cable-TV cord, the company is actively preparing for that shift under a project with the internal code name “Flagship,” the people said. The company has set no firm timeline for the change.”
