disney's espn, which has multi- billion dollar tv deals with the nfl, nba, mlb, and several college conferences charges cable companies nearly $4.70 per month to include it on their channel line-ups. by comparison, tnt is the second most expensive national network and receives just $1.16 a month in subscriber fees. the challenge for sports tv is that content providers stiff-arm their way into homes, driving up your cable bill. for instance, 99 million americans have to pay to have espn, whether they watch the channel or not. if rights fees continue to skyrocket, non-sports fans could rebel and drop cable altogether in favor of digital tv- everywhere models. in response, cable operators could move towards a-la-carte programming, in which consumers choose specific channels they want rather than general tiers. but that may threaten their own bottom lines with subscribers signing up for fewer channels. i'm rick horrow. >> susie: here's what's on tap for tomorrow: we look at whether a turnaround is finally gaining ground in the housing market with the latest data on existing home sales. we get hewle
