ESPN is starting to feel the impact of cord cutting

After a meteoric rise that saw the number of homes with ESPN surpass 100 million in 2011, that number has been in steady decline, dropping 7.2% to 92.9 million in just four years.

 
Of course, this doesn’t mean ESPN is in dire straits. The network is still charging cable carriers $US6.04 per subscriber, $US4.56 more than any other network, according to the Wall Street Journal, and their digital properties reached more than 75 million unique viewers in 2014.
