How much would you pay for an ESPN stream? ESPN makes about $3/mo per cable subscriber (not including its other networks like ESPN2, ESPNU, etc). An a la carte equivalent would have to be in the $15-20 range. I don't see this having many takers.

I think the market for an a la carte sports offering would be people who are really only hanging on to cable for it's live sports. If that is the case, then these people could go from paying $60-100 a month to $20 - so it really depends how many of these cable-for-sports-only consumers exist.
