ESPN 3
Cord cutting and cord cutter have become hot topic in cable TV world, especially among the sports networks like ESPN, as many cable TV subscribers are willing to drop their cable subscriptions in exchange for the latest over the top streaming services like Sling TV and for exclusive on demand content from providers like Netflix and Hulu.
Even the likes of DirecTV, AT&T, and Comcast are following the trend now, and looking forward to release their streaming services in the market soon. Apparently, it would be a tough game in the streaming arena as well after a couple of months.
