How many cord cutters actually are not using their internet service to stream sports, movies and tv shows? The main savings I have gotten is not having to lease cable boxes, DVRs and modems. I really love to see the number of ESPN users that switched from Cable to Sling, PSVUE or another streaming service. I rarely watch live tv anymore except for sports. Many times I start an 1-2 hours later due to doing family stuff or appointments. Many times I actually catchup live in the last part of the game and cuss I can't skip the commercial or ESPN non sport topic discussions. With VUE I get B10 & SEC, I will be happy when ACC is added so I just have one place to watch and record. THe only sprts channel I don't get is CBSSN, rarely has there been a game there I wanted to watch.

Last info I could find had Sling,Vue & Directtv Now in the combined 2-3 million range, this number is likely to grow even if it's spread over several providers. Every streaming package I have seen has ESPN &Fox related content

Dish's numbers are still going down even with Sling numbers added so the vast majority of cords cutters are just going OTA but subscribing to Netflix and Hulu.
Remember there was an article that only 20% of the households even watched ESPN. So those 80% are the ones that are not even bothering to use OTT TV streaming.

There's nothing stopping bundling in the digital age (it's actually been quite common for a long time), and fans matter, not markets.

Snarkly answer: The ones that don't care about sports.
Real answer: The big issue isn't number of people watching, it's number of people paying. If Grandpa dies (one less cable household) and Junior graduates college and watches games religiously using Dad's ESPN password, ESPN is out $7 a month net.

ESPN will own the ACC network 100%, just like ESPN owns 100% of the SEC network. ESPN does a (rumored) 70/30 revenue split with the SEC, but it's ESPN's network.
PAC 12 Network: Owned 100% by PAC 12.
Big 10 Network: Owned 49% by Big 10, 51% by Fox.
SEC Network: Owned 100% by ESPN. SEC receives 30% of the revenues (rumored)
ACC Network: Will be owned 100% by ESPN. Revenue splits are unknown.

That 100% ownership sounds like it would be awesome when it comes to revenue. But, the problem is--without a well connected network partner that can apply leverage to cable carriers--its a lot harder to get carriage---which negatively affects the number of subscribers and ultimately---revenue. If they stick with it, I think the Pac-12 100% ownership model will outperform the others---its just going to take significantly more time to build the subscriber base.

Concerning ownership: strictly in terms of money, it's better to own 30% of $100 million than 100% of $10 million. But on the other hand, it's better to own 100% of $10 million than 10% of $70 million. Or 50% of $15 million.

So no ownership split is ideal, in and of itself. The optimal value-creating synergy between you and a partner can theoretically be at any level of splitting (above zero for you, of course).

The problem the SEC has, and the ACC will have, is that their revenue splits with regards to the SECN and coming ACCN are not based purely on what is "optimal value creating synergy", rather, they are (in the case of the SEC) and will (in the case of the ACC) be heavily influenced by the fact that ESPN already has both conferences locked in to long-term contracts, giving ESPN much greater bargaining power in making the network deals.

IOW's, had the SEC not signed the disastrous 2008 contract with ESPN, and the ACC not signed their equally dumb 2010 contract with ESPN, each would get a much bigger share of the revenue pie than they are/will get, and that pie would be the same size as it otherwise would be.

So considering the SEC, sans that 2008 contract, rather than getting 30% of the $500m SECN revenue, they would likely (using the B1G/FOX deal as a benchmark) be getting 50% of $500m SECN revenue, an enormous loss of money as a legacy of the awful Slive 2008 contract.

I think most ACC fans would be willing to change provider - or go streaming - to get the ACC network.

Plus, a few well-placed ooc games will insure that Penn State, Kentucky, S Carolina, Georgia and Florida fans will want it too.

RE: ACC Network- Forbes Article Suggests ESPN Can Be Profitable With The ACCN
In the case of the ACC Network being profitable, it's actually a much simpler calculation regardless of demographics, cord cutting or other overarching media issues.

At the end of the day, ESPN has *already* paid for ACC rights. They own them 100% at this point. As a result, even a modest subscription rate for the ACC Network compared to the BTN or SEC Network would likely be a revenue generator for ESPN because they're getting an additional subscriber fee for content that they *already* own. Assuming that ESPN isn't taking ACC content off of its mothership ESPN and ESPN2 channel and this is purely additive, the ACC Network allows for ESPN to monetize ACC content that they own and aren't showing otherwise (outside of maybe purely online offerings).

Doubt it. If ECU played 3 football games on the road and all 3 were on ACC network, I wouldn't get it. I don't know why Florida or penn st fans would buy it either.

The ACC Network Extra has been good enough for me. It is part of the $40 Sling package.

I only watch ND baseball games on it, masochist that I am.

I may have to pass on the "linear" channel, if I have that option and the cost is more than very minimal.

I don't want to pay for stuff like coaches shows, "classic" games and junk like that.

I also really don't want to pay for non-ND ACC content, no matter what. I never watch it.

So you say now... when it happens, you'll pay $1/month for it without batting an eye and be glad you got it.

You'll buy it even if ECU is never on the ACCN just so you can root against UNC and NC State.

Big 10 subscription fees in footprint are .90 cents. The SEC in footprint is 1.30 in most states and 1.20 for political reasons only in a couple of more. The SEC makes .25 cents per out of footprint subscription per month. Cable networks won't go away for quite some time. Too many areas have coverage issues with other modes. And people forget that if somebody wants the SECN or PACN they will buy it where it is available. So if ESPN or the PAC doesn't sell those rights to an Amazon then you won't be able to turn them for the product. The rabidness of the SEC fan base is a plus in that regard.

So while things are changing and streaming needs to be an option that we all capitalize, there is not really a monster at the door of cable waiting to devour that industry and by the time such a monster does appear, those networks will be streaming as well.

This is based on two years' worth of data. If it had been three or four, Florida State would have done much better. They were a TV gold mine during the 2013 and 2014 seasons.

Based on those numbers you'd expect the ACC Network to generate only slightly more money than the Pac12 Network. I would have expected the ACC to have a substantially better ratings performance than the Pac12 due to its far more populated footprint--but that chart surprisingly says there isn't much difference.

Conference networks earn revenue from two sources: carriage fees and advertising. The carriage fees are negotiated in multiple year deals, but the ads are sold on shorter intervals, seasonal and week-by-week. The challenge for the ACC is that they share a big portion of their footprint with either the SEC or the B1G. Advertisiers can choose from those, and the ACC will struggle to keep up with their neighbors.

Forbes Article

These conference networks are toast if more cord cutting happens. Nobody in the south gives a crap about the Big 10. Nobody in the Pac-12 area cares about the SEC. You basically only watch your team and your conference for most people. The amount of time devoted to binge watching college football isn't done by that many.

Actually, that's not true. There are are sizable number of Big Ten snowbirds down south. And, there are people in the Pac12 area that do care about the SEC. It's one of the reasons why Auburn played USC awhile back.
