I have been reading a bit about this, and the main thing that comes through is they still don’t really know what they are doing with this. For some reason they had a need to announce this as a placeholder, while they figure out the details. As Adam suggests, a lot of those details surround how

Hogan was retired when he sued Gawker. Having Musk pay attorney fees to make a right wing point would mean a long long civil litigation process that would make Carano unemployable to mainstream studios. Who would hire an actor who sues the studio for a dispute? On Wed, Feb 7, 2024 at 7:18 PM

I think the only way you can get sports fans to pay that level of monthly prices is to have home games available. I get ESPN+ as part of the Hulu bundle and I can watch NHL games with every team except my home team. My friend, who just got rid of his $230 a month cable subscription, was happy to

I guess it's all about the maths. When there were 100m cable homes each paying, say, $7 a month for ESPN regardless of whether they watched it or not because it was "part of the bundle", ESPN could be both very profitable AND dig deep for sports rights. To make the same money in a streaming
