Can’t wait to watch my Notre Dame squad take on Clemson in the College Football Playoff semifinals this Saturday. A recorded message essentially tells me that ESPN is spreading misinformation about Verizon customers losing ESPN when the network’s contract with Verizon expires later this month. The recording says Walt Disney-owned ESPN wants to charge Verizon hundreds of millions of dollars more for ESPN. For all of 2017, Verizon lost 75,000 pay TV users, marking the first year the wireless giant ever lost Fios video users. ESPN lost about $2 million customers in fiscal 2018 as it continues to get hammered by cord-cutting.
