is espn protected in this business? know.on't it certainly is a beneficiary of everything we have just talked about. i think that works out to about 125 times per month what c-span is paid. espn can't be that much more important to society. if people voluntarily made those choices, since i love sports and i also love c-span, i would voluntarily pay both of those fees. most people would not voluntarily pay $5.5 per month for espn. if they could choose, they would say no, i will pay my six cents for c-span. but i am not going to pay that money for espn. many people would voluntarily choose that. when you look at the landscape of health football live televised, espn is a broadcast partner of the nfl. cbs, fox, nbc, they are all broadcast partners. abc is not but abc and espn have common ownership. all the big broadcast networks are broadcast partners of the nfl. by the strangest and most amazing coincidence, none of them report very much on the things that were discussing today. >> why not? >> it is bad for business. >> ca

specifically, to go after espn and you just mentioned that espn is the flagship over at disney. and fox started their own espn-like channel and they've spent like crazy to get as much programming as they possibly can to compete. and i think we'll probably see that disney is going to be somewhat negatively impacted because they, too, spent a lot of money to keep its sports channel up and very aggressive in the last quarter. so everybody is spending heavily specifically on sports programming in the united states. it's going to hurt both of those. advertising for tv stations isn't so strong. disney had a very good year, a very good quarter for its movie studio, unfortunately, for fox. they did not. so i don't think disney is going to be quite as rudely as -- as rudely awaited as fox was. fox, as you just mentioned, got a rude awakening from the stock market. >> something of a write-down, i presume, for the lone ranger. >> yes. that's putting it mildly.

what appeared to be weaker espn numbers. given that espn is one of the best growth engines that was the kiss of death to the stock. which had been on a tear because of espn. as well as their theme parks and some extremely powerful movie franchises. if there were nfl coaches, you know what they would have done. they would have thrown the red flag, right? the rest would be right in the booth looking at the replays of the trading of the three fine companies. in our business, that's the equivalent of reading the headlines and listening to the conference calls. and here's what the traders would have heard if they had bothered to do the actual business of investing. they would have heard that priceline, groupon and disney are firing on all sill enders and 2014 is setting up to be a remarkable year for all three. first from price line which is chronically underpriced by wall street. they have been able to instantly leverage the brilliant company of kayak. that's why they're now up huge. nearly 100 points swing. from 4:10 last night
