Here's the bonus level though when it comes to ESPN (and all the non-specific sports channels, for that matter): they're all, essentially, bundles themselves. ESPN carries a laundry list of sports. It's one thing to say "Would you pay $36 for ESPN?", but it's quite another to say "Would you pay $36 for ESPN knowing you'll only watch MLB and NBA games (for example)?" I'm quite fortunate that I'm primarily an NHL, F1, and EPL fan, so it'd be a no-brainer for a hypothetical NBCSN a la carte, but if those three sports were on ESPN, would I be willing to plunk down $36 for that?
