ESPN

Lost 621,000 subscribers last month, I wonder if all the left wing wackos on the payroll has anything to do with this? I pretty much just watch games only on there anymore.

Yeah, I quit DVR'ing all the daily talk shows a few months back. It's insane how ESPN will interject politics every chance it gets these days and to present a skewed vision of it is unwatchable.

I quit cable and won't go back. I'm done paying money to the mouthpieces.

definitely only watch sports (OSU primarily) and that's it.....their journeys into politics and whatnot are pitiful and usually wholly one-sided. If it wasn't for OSU athletics, I would pull the plug as well.

I have a fast internet connection and use Kodi to stream.

I would imagine that has more to do with people dropping over priced traditional cable/satellite packages to go with the streaming content. I just say this because you can't just drop ESPN. To drop ESPN you have to pretty much drop your whole cable subscription.

Medic, unfortunately we live out in the country so our only option is satellite internet...I've seen slugs move faster than our download speed. Am told AT&T/Direct will be coming through in 2 years which would be very nice.

Historical perspective from a "mature" poster: The Austin360 Board on AOL dial-up using Ms. J's TRS(Trash)-80 could possibly be faster?

That blows. I got sympathy for you. Ditching all forms of bundled pay TV has been great.
