"Dish's Cullen said a move to a sports tier would have saved the company a load of money. But ESPN argues Classic wasn’t so narrowly consumed, presenting data showing that in 2010, 1.6 million viewers were watching the network for at least six minutes a month."
Wow! Six minutes a month is a very low bar to hit!
I think they were trying to show that more than 10% of Dish users tuned in to ESPN Classic at least once a month.
I actually like ESPN Classic (or Classic Sports Network that is used to be). The only sports I watch are KC Chiefs games and the occasional StL Blues game but I actually used to watch Classic. A lot more frequently than I ever watch ESPN. Since they moved it to whatever tier they moved it to, I don't get to watch it at all (and I have AEP). Definitely wouldn't spend any extra $$ for it.
That's the point......
