If cable sports sees anywhere near that decline over 10 years, it is going to be a big deal. |
That's true, but it's related to the decline of the music industry in general. The driver in the industry is now single song downloads, unfortunately the pay-per-episode model in television shows no signs of being popular, and it doesn't exist (and I'd question its popularity) in sports.
The comparison isn't the death of cable, the comparison would be the death of televised/streamed sports.
