Considering sports is one of the few things people still subscribe to cable to watch, and ESPN has license to broadcast damned near every major sport (and the spelling bee), it is tough to see how the network is losing money. I can only assume with the radio shows and magazine and websites and whatever else, they have overextended themselves. One article I read said the salaries of some on-air talent is too high, but in comparison to the cost of programming on other channels, that seems a relative term.
