Cable Unbundleing, Subscriber Losses Means ESPN Wins?
This is an interesting (and very long) article describing the forces acting on the TV industry. The interesting conclusion is that ESPN will likely be the only part of the existing "bundled" TV structure to survive and the reason for that will be the large catalogue of sports rights it controls.

Which is why I continue to maintain that people who think ESPN will stop spending money on sports rights are crazy. ESPN's entire future is dependent on having a near monopoly on sports. Without that monopoly, they are just a glorified CBS-Sports Network. Without that monopoly, they cease to be a "must have" commodity.
