Talked to a friend today who works at ESPN I’ve known for years. He’s not sure if his job is gone by the summer with a new round of cuts coming up. It does bring up the question regarding ESPN’s+ ability to add more content to its plate (I.e. Pac-12)?
Late in 2022, ESPN+ was yet to turn a profit even though they had 23.4 million subs. If ESPN+ wants to be the streaming partner of the Pac 12, a monthly fee of $9.99 isn’t going to get it done. If they add the Pac 12 to their plus package what will the monthly subscription fee have to be to breakeven? $12.95, $14.95 and eventually $19.95.
Not to kick a dead horse, but the media landscape is looking bleaker by the day.
George K got beaten to the punch by the Big 12 last year. Is George going to have another regret for not taking the first real decent offer late last year?
Someone help me out here. I’m looking for positives and I am having a tough time finding them.
