"Analyst Brian Wieser of Pivotal Research Group, which pays for access to Nielsen data, confirmed that Nielsen's latest report indicated a drop of roughly 621,000 ESPN subscribers. But he said it was not unusual as ESPN has seen previous monthly drops of around 500,000 or 600,000 customers.

Wieser also estimated that year-over-year declines stood at 3.1 percent, in line with the 2 percent to 4 percent drops seen since the start of 2014."

I do have to agree with ESPN a bit. If Nielsen numbers don't include digital subscribers the report is likely off. I for one am a digital subscriber and the majority of my friends are also.

I get ESPN and BTN through PS VUE. I assume I would be considered a digital subscriber then?
