subscriber her month which dwarfs the competition. he is brings -- espn brings about $9 million, 1/5 of the industry, almost 50% of disney's operating profit even though it is diversified, this is why there has been so much focus on this one portion of disney business. walter: i would argue that they via espnually get more if they went direct to consumer. i would be willing to bet consumers would be willing to pay 10 or more dollars for espn and disney content than they are currently being paid by the cable operators. if that whole system just blew up -- corey: if you look at the pack network, the ut network, the sec network, you have not seen

willllations are said they fall 34%, leading to wider loss per share in less revenue than some analysts were expecting. cash flow overgrowth. talking now about sensitive numbers, bloomberg analyst. tell me how to production lessening. so, this company is hard to figure the model out. i was struck when they said they are focusing on cash flow. cash flow was abysmal. kit: they are burning cash very weakly. that is basically the business model of a rooftop solar company. that has been the model all along what they're telling people they are aiming to do is be able to first of all, installation costs will go down
