Their main income is TV contracts. Once that goes it's over with. Right now paid TV is dying at a rate of 5% every quarter for the past several years. They are trying to get into streaming markets like Amazon and Netflix but those markets generally do not like sports and certainly not commercials. If they start showing ads people will cancel it. I know I will.

Bingo...and then you'll see specialized networks like NFLN and ESPN really start cutting people loose...

And then watch the Big 3+ Networks and Madison Avenue really get scrappy over advertising revenue...
