Are their profits/revenue going to keep up with the payout to some of these conferences. As mentioned above advertising is maxed out. How many complaints have there been with the increase in commercials vs the shortening of the game. As personal spending gets cut back more and more with a looming recession advertisers will be hesitant to increase investment. But those bills will still be due. That’s why they’re looking to limit their exposure
Disney is not looking to sell ESPN; they are looking to sell part of its stake in ESPN preferably to a partner that specializes in the digital media platform. ESPN is still a profitable entity w/in the business ventures of Disney, it’s just that their profits are not meeting expectations w/ the ever decline of the cable industry. Those big contracts are why ESPN is profitable b/c eyes r still tuning in. Regardless, Disney is looking to shift gears to help transition one of its profitable platforms to have better exposure w/in the confines of the new digital wave.
