If there is no cable (saving them money) and the only way to get sports is to subscribe, a LOT more people will subscribe I would guess.

I'd be pretty surprised if the number willing to pay $200/year is higher than the average number of viewers watching it as part of their cable subscription. I don't know there is a whole lot of data available on that though. Only 6% of customers would pay $20/month for ESPN if they had a choice

And only 44% would keep ESPN if they could save $8/month by getting rid of it.
