Nope, it's instead another example of your selective forgetfulness. This was 
reported in an article. About 4.6 percent drop for ESPN, and 4.5 percent drop 
for TNT.

This must be the third time I've had to repeat this to you, Craig. Could you 
please save it somewhere, so I don't have to do this again?

Wrong. Not (virtually) simultaneous with "the bundle" broadcast, for reasonable 
"season pass" price. This is new, Craig. And it categorically contradicts your 
previous claim that content from "the bundle" remains exclusively in "the 
bundle" (until released on DVD or other, after a considerable delay).

The option of paying a single, low season price, for undelayed viewing without 
MVPD subscription, is instead competitive. This is new this year, as far as I 
can tell. I wonder why you feel compelled to dispute this.
