I do believe the Fox model has cut into viewership they provide the regional coverage people want...just like was mentioned earlier custom shows/programming designed to specific divisions would work on a national level thanks to the DVR.

I tend to agree, although, they went away from sports programming and sports highlights to more opinionated shows and I really DGAF about any of these peoples opinions. ESPN Gameday was great until they made it 3 hours and then only 30 seconds were spent covering KC while Denver, the East and West coast teams got the other 2hrs, 59 mins and 30 seconds. Bleh...
I'm very close to cutting the cord, ESPN just isnt worth it any more. As much as I enjoyed the invention of ESPN, I'm glad to see it's demise as well.
