President Trump listens as Kuwait’s Sheikh Sabah Ahmed al-Sabah speaks during a news conference at the White House on Sept. 7. Data from Nielsen via SportsTVRatings shows the drop in subscribers at ESPN and ESPNU since the beginning of 2015. It’s worth noting that the February year-over-year drop from 2015 to 2016 and from 2016 to 2017 was about the same. It’s worth noting that, from June 2016 to August 2017, the number of subscribers dropped by only 2.5 percent. But the number of subscribers had already dropped by 1.5 million since that February, a drop of about 291,000 subscribers a month.
