the cost of the sports channels alone (ESPN/ESPN2/TNT/TBS) is worth $8.40 wholesale (http://www.whatyoupayforsports.com/numbers/), on the whole the total package is probably worth just over $10 without the middleman, so $20 seems like a very fair price if you are interested in enough of the
content. Obviously this is going to appeal mostly to sports fans (football on ESPN, basketball on TNT/TBS)
really? the average cost of basic cable in the USA is $65 a month, +$45 a month ($540 per year) doesn't seem like "not much more" to me
with this package you can also subscribe to all of the top 3 streaming services (Netflix/Hulu+/AmazonPrime), and still come out less than $65 a month, can use the savings to go towards a high quality OTA digital antenna so you can get all the major networks.
if you have cable or satellite TV, $5.75 of your bill is already going to ESPN, $5 for just ESPN would be a bargain for the average consumer
content. Obviously this is going to appeal mostly to sports fans (football on ESPN, basketball on TNT/TBS)
So why comment if you don't watch sports?
Anyways, 20 bucks seems too high. You can get cable with ESPN included for not much more. Only reason I see it worth it is if you travel but even then most hotel rooms have ESPN

I wouldn't pay $5 a month for ESPN.
