Really, where is your revenue driver for this? Isn't ESPN Classic on most Digital Basic tiers already? So you give a teaser year where there is no ESPN channel rate increase and then jack up the Classic channel an extra $0.20/subscriber.<br><br>But yeah, in the end, it will be you the subscriber who will be paying for this.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alex]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 25th 2008 11:06PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NFL Network to become ESPN 8, THE "OCHO"?]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nfl-network-to-become-espn8-the-ocho/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nfl-network-to-become-espn8-the-ocho/</guid><description><![CDATA[No kidding -- what exactly does it change?  For ESPN (or the NFL Network) to make this profitable they will have to jack up the fees.  If they jack up the fees they're back to where NFLN is now, which is cable systems asking "why should we charge subscribers $1/mo. so they can watch 8 NFL games a year and a bunch of filler?"  So the filler is the NBA from 1985 and boxing matches that aren't Hearns/Hagler or other entertaining stuff instead of  wall-to-wall coverage of the scouting combine?  What's the diff--there's a narrow audience for either.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Le Big Mac]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 26th 2008 9:45AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NFL Network to become ESPN 8, THE "OCHO"?]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nfl-network-to-become-espn8-the-ocho/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nfl-network-to-become-espn8-the-ocho/</guid><description><![CDATA[LOL from the movie Dodgeball the true underdog story ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Arley]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 25th 2008 11:32PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NFL Network to become ESPN 8, THE "OCHO"?]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nfl-network-to-become-espn8-the-ocho/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nfl-network-to-become-espn8-the-ocho/</guid><description><![CDATA[I watched Dodgeball today lol]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Taylor]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 25th 2008 11:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NFL Network to become ESPN 8, THE "OCHO"?]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nfl-network-to-become-espn8-the-ocho/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nfl-network-to-become-espn8-the-ocho/</guid><description><![CDATA[These channels are both on the same tier where I live.

ESPN's football crew is awful.
