• On the post: Despite ESPN Whining, Nielsen Confirms Historic Subscriber Losses For Channel

  

  PRMan ( profile ), 07 Nov, 2016 @ 12:31pm

  To be fair...

  ESPN's entire complaint is that Nielsen does NOT count cord-cutters watching their WatchESPN service through Sling or Vue, like I am.
  
  That's what "It also does not measure DMVPDs and other new distributors and we hope to work with Nielsen to capture this growing market in future reports" means.
  
  It's a legitimate complaint and Nielsen is a well-known dinosaur when it comes to these things. Unfortunately, ESPN will still lose money on ads until the dinosaur figures out how to count.

  Net Neutrality

  There is only one mention of Netflix in the entire report.
  
  Since Netflix blocking was the majority of the problem, that's a little thin.

  Re:

  ESPN is going to start a direct-to-consumer service in 2017.
  
  For now, you can get ESPN through Sling (including WatchESPN credentials) for $20 a month. If you want Pac-12, ACC, SEC, ESPNU, etc., you can get the sports package for an additional $5 a month.
  
  And there's no lock-in so you can cancel at any time.

  Re: Way better entertainment value

  Plus, many cord cutters subscribe to Netflix and watch Luke Cage and Narcos season 2.
  
  Then they subscribe to Hulu and watch something.
  
  They they subscribe to HBO and watch GoT.
  
  They don't have to subscribe to all of them at the same time.
