ESPN has spent many billions of dollars in exclusive sports broadcasting rights, such as spending $1.9 billion a year to broadcast [[NFL]] Monday Night Football.  ESPN's revenue is based on subscriber fees (about $6.61 per month) plus advertising.  But in the past two years, 7 million subscribers (nearly 10% of its overall subscription level, which as of 2015 is about 92 million homes) have cancelled their subscriptions.<ref>http://www.marketwatch.com/story/disney-is-losing-espn-subscribers-by-the-millions-2015-11-26</ref>
